An active pattern for much of the eastern, southern Corn Belt

For the remainder of Tuesday, wintry precipitation will continue to cause travel disruptions from the southern Appalachians into the Carolinas. Another storm system—currently affecting the Southwest—will closely follow, resulting in mid-week snow, sleet, and freezing rain from central and northeastern Texas into the southern Mid-Atlantic States. Toward week’s end, widespread rain and snow showers will develop across the West, accompanied by colder conditions. Unusually cold weather will also persist across the central and eastern U.S., with sub-zero temperatures possible late in the week as far south as the central Plains and the Ohio Valley.

Looking ahead, the 6-10 day outlook calls for below-normal temperatures nationwide, except for warmer-than-normal weather across the lower Southeast. Meanwhile, below-normal precipitation in southern Florida and from the Pacific Coast States to the northern Plains and upper Midwest will contrast with wetter-than-normal conditions along and southeast of a line from the Four Corners States to the lower Great Lakes region.
