THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO GRADUALLY STRENGTHEN AS IT
MOVES ACROSS THE MIDWEST TO THE GREAT LAKES THROUGH EARLY
WEDNESDAY. COLDER ARCTIC AIR AND HIGH WINDS WILL PERSIST ACROSS
THE GREAT PLAINS IN THE WAKE OF THE LOW. WARMER AIR AND MOISTURE
STREAMING INTO THE LOW CIRCULATION AND LIFTED ABOVE THE COLDER AIR
TO THE NORTH WILL SUPPORT A SWATH OF HEAVY SNOW ACROSS THE UPPER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY TO NORTHERN LOWER MICHIGAN. ALONG AND SOUTH OF
THE WARM FRONT AND AHEAD OF THE COLD FRONT...FROM THE MID/LOWER
MISSISSIPPI VALLEY EAST...STRONG TO SEVERE THUNDERSTORMS ARE
EXPECTED ALONG WITH THE CHANCE FOR HEAVY RAIN AND FLODDING ACROSS
PARTS OF THE OHIO VALLEY.
THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 1000 PM CDT. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
