‘Painfully cold’ #ArcticBlast across Upper #MidwesternUS to trigger heavy #LakeEffectSnow
Another painful blast of Arctic air will follow a midweek East Coast rainstorm and the frigid air will set off a few more feet of lake-effect snow in some towns.

"The same storm that will soak areas from the Appalachians to the Atlantic coast will have snappy cold on the back side that will not only have tens of millions reaching for midwinter coats but will also bury some Great Lakes towns knee-deep in the snow all over again, AccuWeather meteorologists warn.
"Most travel problems in the East into Wednesday evening will be related to heavy rain, strong winds and fog. The storm producing the downpours will strengthen enough to pull Arctic air southeastward in a hurry from the Midwest to the Northeast.
"As the trouble-causing storm begins to move northward from the Gulf of Mexico on Tuesday, Arctic air will begin its move into the United States over the northern Plains. On Wednesday, the Arctic air will be blasting across the the Midwest with subzero AccuWeather RealFeel Temperatures and stiff northwesterly winds."

"Temperatures will build to their highest marks in years across the Midwest and Northeast and stay at sizzling levels for days as #MotherNature cranks up the heat ahead of astronomical summer, which begins Thursday, June 20, at 4:50 p.m. EDT.
"AccuWeather's long-range team has been sounding the alarm for more than a week on building heat in the East during the third week of June that would put millions at the mercy of a prolonged stretch of 90-degree Fahrenheit temperatures. The longevity of the intense heat will put additional strain on residents and #ElectricalInfrastructure.
"For many in the #Midwest and #Northeast, this week will constitute the first official heat wave of the season, which, in this part of the country, is defined as three or more consecutive days of at least 90-degree temperatures. Heat alerts have been issued for more than a dozen states, stretching from #Iowa and #Illinois to #Maine, as the summer swelter takes shape."
