Another round of significant snow, freezing rain and sleet was anticipated across the southern and central Plains, as well as the Great Lakes, mid-Mississippi and Ohio valleys.
This may cause more power outages and delays in air travel. In addition, areas of dense fog were possible over portions of the Plains and mid-Mississippi Valley as warmer air moves over the cold and moist ground.
A strong ridge of high pressure over the Southeast is bringing unusually warm and dry weather. Near to record high temperatures were anticipated at least through Thursday.
The combination of mostly clear skies, light winds and moist air was to set the stage for widespread dense fog to develop from northeast Florida northward to southeast Virginia.
Out West, more rain and high-elevation snow was forecast across the Four Corners and portions of
Southern California. Expect precipitation to taper off Wednesday morning as the Pacific system shifts east.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of minus 23 degrees at Hibbing, Minn., to a high of 88 degrees at McAllen, Texas.
