While the Mid-Atlantic region is digging out from The Winter Powerhouse they
should also keep an eye on the next storm that could be moving in on them
Tuesday into Wednesday.

That next storm actually forms out of two separate systems that impact the
northern and southern Plains overnight and Monday.

The northern system brings a long period of mainly light snow to the eastern
Plains and upper Mississippi Valley through late Monday night and Tuesday
morning. There could be a wide swath of 6 to 10 inch accumulations with some
high amounts of 12 to 14 inches by the time the storm ends.

Snow from the northern system spreads into the lower Great Lakes and Ohio
Valley Monday afternoon through Tuesday.

The southern system moves out of the New Mexico Rockies overnight and through
the southern Plains Monday.

Accumulating snow should extend from southern Colorado and northern New
Mexico through the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles through northern Oklahoma
and southern Kansas to western Missouri and northernmost Arkansas through
Monday night.

The heaviest accumulations should occur in the southern Rockies where 10 to
15 inches are possible. To the east the amounts should run 2 to 6 inches in
the lower elevations and up to 12 inches in the Ozarks.

By Tuesday the northern and southern systems combine and head toward the
Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
