big storm headed our way

[sundial]

From the Weather Channel:

Areas under the gun will include Missouri, northwestern Arkansas and southeast Iowa and will extend east across Illinois into Indiana, southern Michigan and northwest Ohio.

Damaging winds and hail are expected, but a small tornado outbreak is possible as well.

The wintry side of the storm will also pack a punch.

Snow will spread from out of the Dakotas into Minnesota during the day and become heavy with increasing winds.

Blizzard conditions will be possible in some areas and foot or more of snowfall is possible across portions of northern Minnesota.

Wind gusts will reach over 40 to 50 mph making travel very dangerous as blowing snow reduces visibilities.

Snow showers and gusty winds will buffet the northern tier through Wednesday.

High temperatures will run the spectrum ranging from the frigid the single digits and single digits below zero in North Dakota to the near record mid to upper 70s across the Ohio Valley.

After the warm Tuesday around the Ohio Valley, Wednesday will see temperatures drop 30 or more degrees on Wednesday.
