On Monday, a major disruptive winter storm will affect the area from the Ohio Valley to the Mid-Atlantic, leading to severe travel delays. The storm will produce moderate to heavy snow from parts of the Ohio Valley through to the Mid-Atlantic. The snow will continue into late Monday night over the Mid-Atlantic.
The National Weather Service issuing a forecast Monday for a “significant storm” causing travel delays, school closures and power outages in multiple states as it moves east.
Why It Matters: Millions of Americans will see impacts throughout Monday as a major winter storm travels eastward. Over 330,000 are currently without power, with nearly a third of those in the state of Virginia. And on Capitol Hill, up to 12 inches of snow is expected to fall as lawmakers meet to certify President-elect Trump’s election win at the U.S. Capitol.
A Look Ahead: Another winter storm is forecast to develop by midweek over Texas, with potential impacts “in northern and western Texas, New Mexico, Oklahoma, Kansas, Colorado, Arkansas and Missouri on Thursday and Thursday night,” according to The Washington Post.
