Cancun weather roundup

National weather roundup — Tuesday, December 11, 2007

Ice storm The misery goes on for parts of the Plains and into the Midwest today. Significant accumulations of freezing rain are expected from western Oklahoma through northern Indiana into southern Michigan. Ice accumulation greater than .25 is likely from Topeka, Kan., through Rockford, Ill. In the colder air to the north and west, accumulating snow is expected, with winter storm warnings in effect from the Texas and Oklahoma panhandles through southern Wisconsin. Parts of the southern Plains and middle Mississippi Valley that had seen heavy icing will be slightly warmer today and will wind up with moderate to heavy rainfall. Parts of the Northeast from northern New York through Maine could see light accumulations of snow through Wednesday morning.

Subtropical Storm Olga is expected to weaken as it passes westward through Puerto Rico this morning. The storm should weaken further as it moves toward Hispaniola today. If the storm can continue to survive as a tropical depression, it could transition into a tropical (rather than subtropical) cyclone and could restrengthen over the western Caribbean as it heads for the Yucatan Peninsula.
