Two pieces of upper level energy, one currently approaching the Pacific NW coast and another in northern British Columbia, Canada, will come together as one strong system over Colorado, Tuesday evening/night. At the same time a powerful cold front will be drifting southward along the front range of the Rockies allowing cold air to follow. The upper level support plus the frontal boundary will allow for a surface low to develop over southeastern Colorado and move into the Panhandles of Texas. This combined with the approaching area of high pressure over the Northern Rockies and the set up returns for widespread upsloping snow from southern Wyoming into Colorado, especially the I-25 corridor. The snow will begin to fly across Wyoming on Tuesday and spread southward into Tuesday evening and through the overnight hours. Pockets of heavy snow are likely.
Additionally, this system has the potential for snow to spread further eastward into the Plains than the storm system a week earlier. Snow is likely to spread into the Blackhills of South Dakota on Tuesday and spread southeastward into Nebraska through Tuesday night and through Wednesday. Heavy snow will be possible.
Snow is even becoming more likely into Iowa through the day, Wednesday and could make it as far east as northern Missouri and Illinois.along and north of I-72, Wednesday night and Thursday morning. Snow showers may even be able to continue into eastern Ohio and Kentucky by Thursday evening.
So how much snow can be expected? Here is a first look forecast through Thursday evening:

So now is a great time to be ready to remove that snow as it looks like winter wants to hit early this season. Thanks to a blogger friend of mine, The Coupon Centsation, for alerting me to this deal on a coupon to save on Morton Ice Melt. Make sure to get yours before they are gone and have your ice melt on hand and ready for any snow or ice that heads your way.
