Two storm systems are expected to hit the northern United States this week. The first system will start in the Plains on Monday, bringing snow to the north and heavy rain to the south, with the heaviest snowfall expected in Kansas. On Tuesday, this system will expand east, affecting the Appalachian and mid-Atlantic regions and parts of the Northeast. The second storm system will follow on Wednesday, bringing more rain and snow to the Plains and Midwest before moving into the Northeast. Across the Plains and Rockies, arctic air will drop temperatures up to 10 to 40 degrees below average, with the worst impacts expected in Montana and the Dakotas.
The National Weather Service is celebrating its 155th birthday as it provides updates on severe weather across the region. More than 230 flights have been canceled in the Northeast as snow tapers off and winter alerts are dropped. Despite some lingering snow showers, temperatures are expected to remain colder than usual in the northern United States over the next one to two weeks.
Residents are advised to prepare for continued cold temperatures and potential record lows in certain cities. The Arctic air is expected to persist through the third week of February, with no substantial warmup in sight. As the storms move through the region, people are urged to stay informed and take precautions to stay safe during this period of severe weather.
