Discussion              

An active weather pattern will continue this week with a strong storm system wreaking havoc on much of the nation. Low pressure will intensify over the central states on Tuesday and produce blizzard conditions in the Northern Plains with heavy snow and powerful winds.  On its warm side, severe weather could break out on Tuesday night in the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys including the possibility of tornadoes. The initial primary low pressure system will grind to a halt as it reaches the Great Lakes/southern Canada due to a strong blocking pattern in the atmosphere over Canada.  A secondary storm will likely develop near the east coast later in the week and this could result in a significant winter storm for the Mid-Atlantic from Thursday into Friday with a combination of rain, ice and snow.
