More than 25 million people are under winter alerts from the Rockies to the southern plains and Midwest.

Tuesday, snow continues across the Rockies, while a light icy mix breaks out from the Central Plains and Midwest into New England. Ice accumulation amounts along this swath will generally be 0.10 inches to 0.25 inches. Those ice amounts are enough to cause slick roadways, a glaze on trees and spotty power outages.

On the southern side of the storm system, some strong thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and large hail are possible across parts of Tennessee, Arkansas, Louisiana, Texas and Mississippi. Shreveport, Louisiana, Houston, Memphis, Tennessee and Little Rock are cities in the risk zone. On Wednesday, moderate to heavy snow along with an icy mix will affect the Southern Plains, including parts of Texas and Oklahoma. Even the Dallas-area will need to brace for a light wintry mix Wednesday morning. A swath of 2-8” of snow will be possible from southwest Texas to Missouri.

The risk for severe thunderstorms returns, with 9 million people at risk including New Orleans, Mobile, Birmingham and Panama City. Damaging winds will be the most likely threat associated with these thunderstorms. By Thursday, the storm reaches the east coast. The Northeast may start as a wintry mix in the morning before transitioning to a cold rain in the afternoon. Northern New England will see mostly snow, where total accumulations of 9-12 inches are possible. Severe thunderstorms capable of damaging winds and hail are possible yet again for 28 million people across portions of Florida, Georgia, North Carolina and South Carolina.
