A familiar weather pattern remains locked in place east of the Rockies, featuring an upper-level trough, or southward dip in the jet stream, spanning across the northern tier of the United States.

With cold air locked in place north of that jet stream dip, any low-pressure system has the potential to produce snow or ice along and north of its track. This is currently the case as yet another system slides through the northern Plains, Midwest and central Appalachians.

How Much Snow?

Up to 5 inches of snow is possible from portions of the Dakotas to southwestern Minnesota and northern Iowa.

Light snow is currently anticipated in other parts of the upper Midwest and into the central Appalachians, where only a dusting to a few inches may accumulate.

Additionally, gusty winds are possible in the northern Plains, which would reduce visibility and lead to some travel impacts.
