An active pattern has set up for the Northern Tier with several rounds of winter weather, and a storm system this weekend could bring several inches of snow to the Midwest and mid-Atlantic. On the southern end of the system, wintry mix (and even a little freezing) is possible, which could cause travel problems Sunday into Monday. By Monday, a couple of inches of snow could fall in major cities like Philadelphia, Columbus and Washington, D.C.

The South is going to be a bit wet as we finish out the workweek as a broad upper-level trough brings multiple days of rainy weather to the region. The good news is that this is a much-needed rain, and it will bring relief to areas experiencing drought conditions and recent wildfire threats. While 1 to 2 inches of rain is possible by Saturday for cities like Atlanta, Savannah and Tallahassee, there is no major flood threat at this time, though a few isolated severe storms could pop up in Mississippi and Alabama.

The death of a Rhode Island college student during Winter Storm Hernando is a tragic reminder of this silent and deadly winter hazard: carbon monoxide poisoning.

A ridge of high pressure is causing the Southwest to get a head-start on spring as meteorological winter comes to a close with dozens of high temperature records poised to fall through this weekend and early next week for major cities like Dallas, Las Vegas and Los Angeles. Phoenix could even break the all-time high for February record tomorrow as temperatures creep into the 90s.

When Canadians say they got “a bit of snow” you might want to get clarification on their definition of a “bit.” After record snow hit the Ontario area, one woman decided to go outside and see just how deep the snow was, and the result was hilarious.
