Wintry Weather To Sweep Much of Nation

A wintry blast is moving south out of Canada - allowing cold air to spill across much of the nation this weekend and into early next week.

It will combine with an area of disturbed weather moving across the southern states to bring a snowstorm to Dixie.  Little Rock, Birmingham, Jackson and Atlanta are all expecting snow, sleet and/or freezing rain Sunday into Monday.

Snow is also expected along the Front Range of the Rockies and across the northern and central plains states behind the arctic front.
