Another storm takes aim at the Midwest

With the city still reeling from Sunday’s 50 m.p.h.-plus wind gusts that brought a rash of power outages and tree damage, and central Iowa sorting through tornado damage, another potentially blockbuster November storm is gathering forces in the southern Plains. In Chicago, the storm’s impact should begin late tonight as rain and thunderstorms move in, accompanied by strong, gusty southeast winds. This storm poses another severe weather threat to the lower Mississippi Valley and the southern Midwest, and it will be followed by another round of high winds on its cold backside Tuesday night and Wednesday.
Temperatures here should plunge Tuesday night, allowing the rain to become mixed with wet snow. Wednesday should be downright wintry with snow showers, strong northwest winds and temperatures holding in the 30s—a far cry from our recent balmy days in the 60s.
