A vigorous weather disturbance in the middle and upper atmosphere will lift out from the central Rockies into the Plains late Wednesday through Friday of next week, producing a swath of potentially heavy snow across the central Plains and parts of the Midwest.
As of today, the U.S. based GFS computer model is forecasting the heaviest snow to extend from much of central and eastern Nebraska into Iowa, northern Missouri and into portions of Illinois, as shown on the total snowfall forecast map below ending 6pm CST next Friday, February 22nd:
The impact from this storm system is obviously a ways out, and as you would expect at this time range there are varying computer model solutions, such as the ECMWF model that is forecasting heavy snow to extend as far South as the Oklahoma/Kansas border and southern Missouri during the same time period:
Stay tuned on this one. While it's difficult to say at this time exactly where the heaviest snow will fall, a significant winter storm is likely from the central Plains into the Midwest from Wednesday night through Friday of next week.
At the same time, on the Southern end of the system, a potentially significant severe weather threat is likely to develop across portions of the lower Mississippi Valley and Deep South, especially on Thursday (the way it appears right now, anyway).
The latest outlook from the Storm Prediction Center (SPC) in Norman, OK is forecasting a risk of severe weather on Thursday, February 21, in the area shaded in blue on the image below:
