A pair of weather systems tracking quickly across the nation's northern tier will bring more wintry weather to parts of the Midwest and Northeast into Thanksgiving weekend.
These are following on the heels of Winter Storm Argos, which affected those same regions late last week and into early this week with snow and high winds. The new weather systems will have less snowfall and wind than Argos, however.

The first system has already produced some snow in the Rockies, Upper Midwest and northern Great Lakes Tuesday-Wednesday.

System #1: Thanksgiving Day
Thursday's Forecast
As mentioned before, the snowfall from this system won't be as heavy or widespread as we saw with Winter Storm Argos.
Light accumulations are possible in the interior Northeast from "system number one."
System #2: Thanksgiving Day Through Saturday
A second system will follow immediately in the first's track in this busy, active weather pattern. It's not expected to be a major system by any means, but will deposit more snow in some areas. Here is the general timing/impact of this system.- Thanksgiving Day: Light snow in parts of the northern Plains during the day will head into the upper Midwest by the evening.
- Friday: Some light, wet snow or rain will travel through the Great Lakes into northern New York and northern New England.
- Saturday: Lingering rain/snow showers are possible in the Northeast. There is some potential for more significant snow in parts of northern New England.
