The second of five storms that will slam the eastern half of the United States with snow and ice over a two week period is on the way – and this one has more snow than the first.

A weekend winter storm will bring biting temperatures and dump several inches of snow on areas from the Midwest to Northeast.

The map I’ve put together for snowfall totals has a fairly wide range of 4 to 8 inches. During Saturday, after we get even more information, I’ll try to start honing that down to see whether we’re going to be closer to the 4 inches or closer to 8 inches.

The newest data shows a few tweaks to storm system forecast. Those tweaks generally are for less snow and less freezing rain.

Light rain will move into the area Friday evening, continuing through Saturday morning before giving way to cloudy skies and cooling temperatures for the remainder of the weekend, according to the latest forecast models.

The first storm began earlier on Friday in parts of the state and a second storm is expected on Saturday afternoon.

Another winter storm will rush across the Midwest and the Northeast this weekend, bringing snow and ice along the way.
