...Severe weather and excessive rainfall concerns in the Midwest today...

...Heavy Snow across western mountains and Northeast...

...Elevated to Critical fire risks in the Central Southern Plains...

...Below average temperatures in the West and above average temperatures
in the East.

A deep mid-latitude cyclone will spread showers and thunderstorms across
portions of the Midwest Ohio Valley and Mid-Atlantic today. The storm
prediction center issued a Slight Risk of severe thunderstorms over parts
of the Ohio Valley due to the risk of damaging gusts and a few tornadoes.
Excessive rainfall concerns will be marginal and confined to a similar
area as the severe weather outlook since any flash flooding will likely be
isolated and caused by thunderstorm activity. A swath of snow and ice are
expected spread across the Upper Midwest, Great Lakes and Northeast today
while a secondary low pressure system develops and the pair of surface
waves drift slowly toward the East Coast. Rain wraps up across the
Mid-Atlantic on Tuesday while snow spreads into New England. Snow totals
by Wednesday morning are forecast to be between 4-8 inches from the Upper
Midwest to Northeast with locally higher amounts possible. Freezing rain
accumulations potentially exceeding a tenth of an inch over parts of
Minnesota and Wisconsin could cause hazardous driving conditions. Impacts
to travel are also possible in the Tri-State area on Monday and southern
New England on Tuesday due to snow.
