Eastern US braces for a potentially disruptive winter storm next week

Following a break from winter storms and arctic air, colder conditions and the potential for snow will return to parts of the eastern United States spanning Tuesday to Thursday of next week.

Temperatures will moderate and storms will retreat northward later this week and this weekend across much of the nation.

Colder air will seep southward into the East next week. Highs in the 30s and 40s F will replace 50- and 60-degree temperatures in many locations from the southern Appalachians to the New England coast.
