THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WILL BE ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE
WINTER WEATHER SYSTEM FOR THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES.
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER EASTERN TEXAS AND THE
DISTURBANCE OVER THE MIDWEST ARE FORECAST TO MERGE AND MOVE
TOWARDS THE EAST. AS THAT HAPPENS...A STRONG COASTAL LOW IS
EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND BRING MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW TO THE
EAST COAST...BEFORE FINALLY MOVING OUT TO SEA LATE ON WEDNESDAY.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 300 AM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
EVENT.
