Important Takeaways:

• If you were hoping the U.S. had turned a corner and more springlike weather was on the way, you’re going to have to hold on a bit longer as the FOX Forecast Center tracks what is shaping up to be an incredibly active week for winter weather across the nation.
• This renewed threat comes just as millions of people across the Northeast and New England clean up in the wake of a winter storm over the weekend that dumped several inches of snow across the region.
• …at least three separate winter storms are expected to sweep across a large portion of the U.S. during the week ahead, bringing the threat of widespread snow and ice to tens, if not hundreds, of millions of Americans from coast to coast.
• Portions of eastern Colorado, southern Nebraska, most of Kansas, central and northern Missouri, southeastern Iowa and western Illinois are all under a Winter Storm Watch.
• This includes cities like Wichita and Topeka in Kansas and Kansas City and St. Joseph in Missouri.
• With some snowfall rates of around an inch per hour that could allow about 5 inches of snow accumulation for much of central Kansas along the Interstate 70 corridor.
• After impacting the Plains, the storm is expected to move into the Ohio Valley, and then slam the mid-Atlantic and portions of the Northeast into Wednesday morning before the system pushes offshore.
• Richmond, Virginia, Washington and Baltimore are under Winter Storm Watches through Wednesday. Heavy snow is possible, with totals between 4 and 6 inches. Winter Storm Warnings are in effect for portions of northwestern North Carolina, central and western Virginia and eastern West Virginia.
• As that first storm begins to wind down over the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Wednesday, the second storm will already be developing over the Plains.
• The last storm, for now, is expected to take shape late this week and continue into the weekend, bringing yet another round of winter weather to cities from the Plains to New England.
