ARCTIC AIR WILL CONTINUE TO FILTER SOUTH AND EAST THROUGH THE
SOUTHERN PLAINS AND INTO THE SOUTHEASTERN U.S. AS THE ARCTIC HIGH
MOVES EASTWARD TOWARD THE MID-ATLANTIC REGION.   SOME ICING IS
STILL POSSIBLE FROM CENTRAL ALABAMA EASTWARD TOWARDS THE SOUTHEAST
COAST, WITH ICE ACCUMULATION OF 0.1 TO 0.25 INCH POSSIBLE IN SOME
AREAS.  A COUPLE INCHES OF SNOW IS LIKELY FROM CENTRAL TENNESSEE
TO THE SOUTHERN APPALACHIAN.  IN ADDITIONAL TO THE PRECIPITATION
OVER THE SOUTHEAST, THERE IS A SEPARATE AREA OF SNOW AND LOWER
ELEVATION RAIN OVER ARIZONA THAT IS ASSOCIATED WITH A SURFACE LOW
NEAR TUCSON.  THIS WILL BRING ANOTHER ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER TO
THE SOUTHERN PLAINS AND EVENTUALLY THE SOUTHEAST U.S. BY THE
MIDDLE OF THE WEEK, AND WINTER STORM WATCHES ARE IN EFFECT OVER
PARTS OF NORTHERN TEXAS, NORTHERN MISSISSIPPI, AND NORTHERN
ALABAMA FOR THIS NEW ROUND OF WINTRY WEATHER.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 900 AM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
