The cold air will be somewhat limited, but enough arctic air will wrap around the system that a snowstorm could break out in parts of Arizona, New Mexico and portions of the Plains.

A wide-ranging storm has been forecast to move along the Eastern United States this week, bringing with it the potential for snow, ice and thunderstorms in multiple states across the country. Much of the country has already faced challenging weather this month.

All eyes are on next week as Arctic cold spills south and a Gulf low could lead to a winter storm along the Gulf Coast.
