"Double Trouble: Back-to-Back Winter Storms to Hit Plains and Midwest"

Two rounds of snow are expected to hit the northern tier, with the first round bringing light to moderate snow from the Northern Plains to the interior Northeast late this week, and the second round tracking through the central U.S. late this weekend into early next week. Locally heavy snow and gusty winds are anticipated with the second system, potentially bringing over a foot of snow to some areas. The upcoming snow may help alleviate deficits in snowfall for the season in some regions.
