(CNN) As we toss 2020 to the wayside and welcome 2021 with open arms, a significant winter storm is expected to develop in the Central US this week. This system shifts east through the week bringing much-needed rain to areas of Arizona and New Mexico by Tuesday. Most areas will likely receive at least 2-4 inches of snow, but some locations will likely exceed 6 inches through Wednesday. A swath of ice of 0.25 to 0.75 inches is possible from Kansas to Michigan through Wednesday. Any ice accumulation will likely lead to travel problems, as well as potential power outages if the amount becomes significant.
