US weather: Is there another snow storm coming? Latest tracking maps reveal storm on way

ANOTHER storm is set to bring snow to the Midwest and the danger of ice and flooding to the Northeast of the USA at the end of the week.

A big freeze has gripped northeastern America after huge snowstorm, known as a bomb cyclone, pummelled the East Coast last week. 

But now meteorologists are warning that another storm could bring snow, ice and flooding to swathes of America on Friday and Saturday. 

AccuWeather meteorologists expect the storm to form over the lower Mississippi or Tennessee Valley and travel northeastward.

They have warned that surging temperatures, rain and melting snow will also speed up thaw beteen the Appalachian and the East Coast.

There is still uncertainty over the path of the storm which could move up the Appalachians mountain range. 

If the storm takes this eastern track, snow could fall in between Tennessee, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York state. 

The further west the path goes, the bigger the chance of rain instead of snow across huge swathes of these states. 

AccuWeather senior meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said: “A potential track from western Tennessee to eastern Ontario may allow snow to fall from parts of Arkansas to the Lower Peninsula of Michigan.

“In this western track scenario, it may snow on St. Louis, Indianapolis, Chicago and Detroit.

“Should the storm travel farther to the east, near the spine of the Appalachians, the stripe of snow would occur farther to the east.” 

Meteorologist Ryan Maue tweeted: “New model output from the vaunted @ECMWF doesn't have a "bomb cyclone" but you don't need one if you have a lot of moisture, pressure gradients & a front.  

“Huge snowstorm shaping up for Ohio Valley on Saturday.”

Eric Fisher, chief meteorologist at CBSBoston, shared the temperature map above showing that it will be much warmer at the coast than inland in New England. 

He tweeted: “For illustrative purposes, this is the kind of ridiculousness we are watching for Saturday. A huge temp gradient with an ice storm for interior New England looking likely. 

“Too early to tell where the exact lines fall.” 

He added: “Dewpoints in the 40s and 50s will make for some efficient snow-eating Friday. Plus heavy rain, maybe some thunderstorms? Will be a slopfest.”
