THE SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD THROUGH
SOUTHEASTERN CANADA TONIGHT. A STRONG PRESSURE GRADIENT BEHIND THE
LOW WILL CONTINUE TO BRING STRONG GUSTY WINDS TO PORTIONS OF THE
MIDWEST...OHIO VALLEY...AND THE NORTHEAST TONIGHT. ADDITIONAL
SNOWFALL AMOUNTS OF 2 TO 4 INCHES WILL BE COMMON ACROSS MUCH OF
THE OHIO VALLEY...APPALACHIANS AND INTO NEW ENGLAND THROUGH
MONDAY. SOME AREAS IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE GREAT LAKES COULD
RECEIVE IN EXCESS OF A FOOT OF ADDITIONAL SNOWFALL THROUGH MONDAY
AS SNOW IS ENHANCED DUE TO THE LAKE EFFECT. SNOW SHOWERS ARE
EXPECTED TO CONTINUE ACROSS MUCH OF THE REGION THROUGH MONDAY AS
THE SURFACE LOW LIFTS INTO SOUTHEASTERN CANADA. HIGH WINDS WILL BE
POSSIBLE ACROSS PORTIONS OF NEW ENGLAND THROUGH MONDAY AS THE
PRESSURE GRADIENT REMAINS STRONG. ELSEWHERE ACROSS THE MIDWEST AND
OHIO VALLEY...WINDS SHOULD GRADUALLY WEAKEN AS THE PRESSURE
GRADIENT RELAXES DUE TO THE SYSTEM LIFTING NORTHEASTWARD. AS VERY
COLD AIR POURS INTO THE ENTIRE EASTERN SEABOARD ON MONDAY...RAIN
IS EXPECTED TO CHANGE OVER TO SNOW IN SOME AREAS BEFORE ENDING.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 400 AM EST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
