As one dangerous winter storm exits the East Coast, a new system is arriving in the West.  With only 3 to 4 days of separation between nearly identical storms, areas that were recently battered by high winds, heavy rain, wind-driven snow, or strong thunderstorms will face another round of similar conditions.  The new system will cross the central and southern Plains on Thursday into Friday, and the mid-South and Midwest on Friday into Saturday.  The storm’s trailing cold front will sweep across the South on Friday and exit the Atlantic Coast by Saturday.  Bitter cold will trail the storm, with temperatures early next week expected to plunge below 0°F as far south as Texas’ northern panhandle.  Sub-zero temperatures will also cover the Midwest, while hard freezes (28°F or below) will spread into Louisiana’s sugarcane areas.  Meanwhile, weekend temperatures below -30°F will affect the northern High Plains.
