The old adage goes, "March comes in like a lion," and it appears that it very well may this year. Just a few days after a powerful storm system subjected the South to tornadoes and severe thunderstorms and brought more than a foot of snow in parts of the Midwest, resulting in a death in Michigan, eight deaths across the South and the loss of power for thousands, another is on its way, according to Weather Underground.
This upcoming storm has the potential to bring possible blizzard conditions, heavy rain and another round of severe storms. There is some uncertainty about where and when the wintry conditions will take place, but for now, it's expected to range across the Rockies and Plains (from southern Wyoming, to Colorado and southern Nebraska) through the Midwest and South (from Iowa south to Louisiana) and into the Great Lakes region (mostly Illinois and Indiana), reported AccuWeather.
Monday will bring snow to the north and central areas of the Rockies before making its way into the High Plains. A band of rain will follow it through the middle of the country, with a sleet-snow-rain mix filling in the areas between the snow and rain.
These areas should see rain and sleet mixes the following day, as well as windy conditions. Snow may work its way across the northern U.S. through the week, and although it's too early to say exactly where it will fall, the Appalachians, upstate New York and northern New England stand the best chance of seeing it.
Tuesday is expected to see warm air and moisture from the Gulf meet up with another developing low pressure system, establishing the chance of more severe thunderstorms in the South. They're predicted to occur from eastern Texas, west through Louisiana and into Mississippi, and northeast up to Missouri, Tennessee, Kentucky and southern Indiana, according to The Weather Channel. These storms will possibly be coupled with damaging winds, and another round of tornadoes is possible.
Wednesday should see the system mimic the one that just struck the South and East Coast, as it moves east and up the coast. Thunderstorms will range form Florida to Virginia and possibly as far north as Maryland and southern New Jersey. Tornadoes are possible in the Southeast, The Weather Channel noted.
