Warm to cold temps, chance of snow?

Just when you thought the wintry weather was over, it's going to return, but for just one day.

Today's weather features strong storms in the South and snow in the Midwest.  Stormy weather is occurring in Louisiana, Alabama, Mississippi, and northern Florida, while snow is falling in parts of northern Illinois and parts of Wisconsin and Michigan.

It's not like we thought the winter weather was over, right?

I remember once when I was younger when snow fell in May in upstate New York.  The snow coated the grass and it was hard to believe that it had snowed in May. Memorial Day was just around the corner.  Of course most of the snow melted during the day as temperatures warmed up.

Local new station WRGB (CBS 6) is predicting a period of snow and sleet Tuesday night as temperatures drop into the mid 20s.  According to Chief Meteorologist Steve LaPointe, "A couple of inches of snow possible in the Adirondacks, Vermont with a coating possible in valley locations."  Let's hope that the moisture passes by the time temperatures drop to freezing.

Before the potential wintry weather we will deal with heavy rain and wind, possibly causing flooding in some areas.  Thursday we get back to seasonable temperatures in the mid 50s.

According to AccuWeather.com meteorologist Jordan Root, the main threat from the storms in the South will be "damaging winds and torrential downpours, which could lead to flash flooding."
