THE SURFACE LOW IS EXPECTED TO MOVE NORTHEASTWARD INTO THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES BY SUNDAY MORNING AND WILL BE IN SOUTHEAST CANADA BY
SUNDAY EVENING. THE COLD FRONT WILL SWEEP EASTWARD ACROSS THE
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY AND TENNESSEE/OHIO VALLEYS OVERNIGHT...AND WILL
REACH THE MID-ATLANTIC AND SOUTHEAST BY SUNDAY AFTERNOON. SHOWERS
AND THUNDERSTORMS WILL CONTINUE FROM THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY
TO THE OHIO VALLEY BEFORE THE COLD FRONT ARRIVES. HOWEVER...AS THE
FRONT MOVES ACROSS THESE REGIONS...PRECIPITATION WILL COME TO AN
END. FOR TONIGHT AND INTO SUNDAY MORNING...AREAS FROM THE LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO WESTERN PENNSYLVANIA CAN EXPECT 1 TO 2
INCHES OF RAINFALL...WITH SOUTHERN INDIANA AND NORTHWEST KENTUCKY
RECEIVING UP TO 4 INCHES OF RAINFALL. BECAUSE SOILS IN THESE AREAS
ARE ALREADY SATURATED FROM PREVIOUS HEAVY RAINFALL...ANY
ADDITIONAL RAINFALL COULD OVERWHELM RIVERS AND CAUSE MAJOR
FLOODING. AS SUCH...A HIGH RISK OF FLASH FLOODING REMAINS IN PLACE
ALONG THE OHIO VALLEY FROM SOUTHERN INDIANA AND WESTERN KENTUCKY
TO SOUTHWESTERN OHIO. BY SUNDAY...THE AXIS OF PRECIPITATION SHIFTS
SOUTH AS THE FRONT MOVES FARTHER EAST. RAINFALL OF 1 TO 2
INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...CAN BE EXPECTED FROM
EASTERN LOUISIANA TO EASTERN NORTH CAROLINA. PARTS OF THE UPPER
GREAT LAKES CAN EXPECT LIGHT ICE ACCUMULATIONS.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 300 AM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
