Despite a springlike start to the week, winter and substantial snow will make a comeback across the Midwest and Northeast at midweek.
A winter storm will take shape across the Lower Midwest states on Tuesday night and then track into the Northeast and Atlantic Canada on Wednesday through Thursday.
The storm will drop a swath of substantial snow along the cold side of its path, threatening to cause yet another round of disruptions to travel and daily routines. Parents should prepare for a day or two of school cancellations in the areas hit the hardest.
The corridor from northern Illinois to northern New England has the greatest potential of being targeted by the substantial snow.
While a plowable snowstorm is anticipated across parts of the Midwest and Ohio Valley, the heaviest snow will target interior New England. Totals can exceed 1 foot in northern New England, where near-blizzard conditions may evolve.
Along the northern New England coast, the snow may first mix with or fall as rain.
