Saturday

Snow or a rain-and-snow mix is likely from Oklahoma eastward to the Ozarks of Missouri and northern Arkansas to the OhioValley and central Appalachians. Snowfall will weaken north of the Mason-Dixon line during the morning. Some light freezing rain and sleet is possible from Oklahoma to northwestern Arkansas, which may create slippery conditions. Light snow is also likely in parts of the Northeast. The chance for snow may linger in parts of western North Carolina and Virginia into Saturday night.

How Much Snow?

Generally, light snowfall accumulations are expected through Saturday in parts of Oklahoma, Arkansas, as well as in eastern Kentucky, West Virginia and Virginia. Little to no accumulation is expected east of the Appalachians.

Snowmaker #2: Rockies to the Northern Plains and Midwest

The next system is expected to spreadsnow from the northern Rockies into the northern Plains Saturday into Saturday night.

Saturday Night Into Sunday

A mix of snow-and-rain, as well as some freezing rain and sleet is possible Saturday night from southeastern Montana into western Kansas. By Sunday, snow is expected from northwestern Montana into parts of the Dakotas, Minnesota, eastern Nebraska, eastern Kansas and Iowa.

Some light snow may linger in portions of the Midwest and Northeast Monday into Tuesday, but it is too early for details.

Moderate to locally heavy snowfall is most likely in parts of northeastern Montana, parts of the Dakotas and into southern Minnesota and northern Iowa. Light snow is currently anticipated farther south and east.

Gusty winds are also possible in the northern Plains which would reduce visibility.
