A blast of air more typical of early December will be accompanied by a type of storm notorious for triggering snow flurries, lake-effect snow and sudden snow squalls and that will spread across the Upper Midwest to the lower Great Lakes and interior Northeast through midweek, AccuWeather meteorologists warn. Not only will temperatures be 30...
A quick-hitting storm more typical for December could trigger major travel disruptions into Wednesday as snow squalls sweep through the Midwest and Northeast.Trick-or-treaters across the United States can expect largely dry conditions, but chilly air will set the stage for some snow in part of the country.
In most cases, the flurries and snow showers will merely bring a reminder of the season just ahead. However, some of the heavier snow showers, known as snow squalls, could pose a serious problem for motorists, especially when the snow hits during times of heavy traffic and brings a sudden drop in visibility.
An abrupt temperature drop often accompanies snow squalls, which can help snow accumulate on paved surfaces long enough to lead to a potential pile-up. In some cases, by the time crews arrive on the scene, the snow has already melted from the highway. Even where the snow is not likely to accumulate, such as along much of the Interstate 80 corridor from northern Illinois to the northern parts of Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the quick-hitting nature of the snow showers and squalls can create dangerous conditions. The sudden drop in visibility alone and reduced braking action can increase the risk of multiple vehicle accidents.
