THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO INTENSIFY AS IT MOVES OFF
INTO THE WESTERN HIGH PLAINS OF COLORADO INTO WESTERN KANSAS
BEFORE IT SLOWLY FILLS CROSSING THE CENTRAL MISSISSIPPI VALLEY BY
MIDDAY TUESDAY AND INTO THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN GREAT LAKES BY
WEDNESDAY. MEANWHILE...ARCTIC AIR FROM CANADA WILL CONTINUE TO
FEED INTO THE NORTHERN PLAINS AHEAD OF AN ARCTIC HIGH PRESSURE
SYSTEM. A SWATH OF SNOW IS EXPECTED TO SPREAD EASTWARD ACROSS THE
NORTHERN PLAINS TONIGHT INTO MUCH OF TUESDAY WHERE UP TO 6 INCHES
OF SNOW IS FORECAST. AS THE STORM REINTENSIFIES INTO THE GREAT
LAKES...SLOWER STORM MOTION AND INCREASED MOISTURE RETURN WILL
SPREAD INCREASED SNOWS ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST AND GREAT LAKES
AND SHOULD RANGE FROM 6 TO 12 INCHES ACROSS THE UPPER MIDWEST...TO
15 INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS POSSIBLE OVER THE CENTRAL
GREAT LAKES. STRONG AND GUSTY WINDS WILL ALSO ACCOMPANY THE STORM
AS WELL POTENTIALLY PRODUCING BLOWING SNOW AND DANGEROUS DRIVING
CONDITIONS.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 300 AM MDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
