If you thought you had enough bad weather and snow from Winter Storm Harper, some of you will see even more.
A new storm, named Indra is making its way across the northern tier of the United States through Thursday. The storm is not expected to be as large as Winter Storm Harper, however. It will hit some areas that were recently plummeted by Harper – adding even more travel issues.
Beginning Tuesday, Indra snowfall and winds started in the High Plains of Wyoming, Colorado and western Nebraska. Parts of the Upper Midwest are also getting snow. Some freezing drizzle began in Des Moines, Waterloo, Iowa, Omaha, Lincoln, Nebraska, and Chicago.
On Wednesday, snow and freezing rain are possible for parts of the interior Northeast from Pennsylvania to northern New England. Lingering snow is expected for the western Great Lakes. The storm will also produce rain along Interstate 95 from Boston to New York City and Philadelphia. Rain could change to snow Wednesday evening from the Tennessee Valley to the Ohio Valley.
On Thursday the storm will be slowing down, but parts of the interior Northeast may see some lingering snow through Thursday morning. The areas of Interstate 95 will continue to see rain and possibly some wet snow as the storm moves out.
A large area of the upper Midwest from Iowa to Michigan could see as much as six inches of snow through Wednesday. Gusty winds could create blizzard conditions for eastern Colorado, northwestern Kansas and southwestern Nebraska. The central Plains and interior Northeast will have much lighter snowfall. These areas will have less accumulation that they already received from Winter Storm Harper over the past weekend.
Slick roads will create travel problems for drivers from parts of Missouri and Iowa into northern Illinois, northern Pennsylvania and western, central and upstate New York due to ice accumulation.
Keep your eye on the roads and be prepared for travel delays.
