A widespread winter storm will affect the United States midweek. The system will bring snow to lake effect regions and the Appalachians, while the East Coast will be mostly rained out. At least\u00a025 states<\/strong>\u00a0will be impacted by this new winter episode. Snow will arrive as far south as\u00a0Tennessee and North Carolina<\/strong>, and will again focus on the classic lake effect areas of the Midwest and the interior Northeast.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
A fast clipper activates the winter pattern<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The event starts on\u00a0Tuesday<\/strong>, with the advancement of a system type\u00a0clipper<\/em>\u00a0through the\u00a0Great Lakes<\/strong>. These systems are characterized by their speed and by generating abrupt time changes. After the passage of the clipper, a\u00a0cold front<\/strong>\u00a0will become the main driver of precipitation. Behind it, the colder air will allow the appearance of\u00a0snow showers<\/strong>\u00a0in several regions. The\u00a0Ohio Valley<\/strong>, including\u00a0West Virginia<\/strong>, In the early stages of the event, light snow could be seen.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Lake Michigan, at the center of the impact<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
The snow of\u00a0lake effect<\/strong>\u00a0will focus mainly on the\u00a0Lake Michigan<\/strong>. Conditions are favorable for significant accumulations Wednesday through Thursday. Parts of northern\u00a0Indiana<\/strong>\u00a0are already under\u00a0winter storm watch<\/strong>, especially in areas near the southern shore of the lake. Accumulations could be between\u00a020 and 30 centimeters (8 to 12 inches)<\/strong>\u00a0in the most affected areas. Everything will depend on the\u00a0final wind direction<\/strong>, a key factor in this type of snowfall.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<\/figure>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
More rain than snow on the East Coast<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
Although a more extensive snowstorm was initially expected, the scenario has changed. Prior to the arrival of the cold air, a\u00a0warmer air intake<\/strong>\u00a0will transform much of the precipitation into rain. This will cause the\u00a0East Coast<\/strong>\u00a0experience mainly\u00a0rain on Wednesday<\/strong>, The risk of snow accumulations is significantly reduced. The corridor of the\u00a0I-95<\/strong>\u00a0will see minimal impacts. Even so, brief snow episodes could result in\u00a0occasional visibility problems<\/strong>, especially during rapid air mass changes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Appalachia to see snow again at higher elevations<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
By late Wednesday, the storm will move toward the\u00a0Appalachia<\/strong>. The cold air entering from behind the system will favor\u00a0snow due to orographic ascent<\/strong>. The most consistent accumulations are expected in the\u00a0higher altitude areas<\/strong>, from the border between\u00a0Tennessee and North Carolina<\/strong>\u00a0to the north of\u00a0West Virginia<\/strong>. Outside of these elevated areas, temperatures will be too warm for widespread snowfall. To the west of the mountains, light snow may fall. To the east, light to mixed rain is most likely.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
Other lakes also under surveillance<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n
