As the surface low tracks from central Oklahoma into northern
Alabama, a stripe of 4 to 8 inches of snowfall is expected from
eastern Missouri and central Illinois into southwest Ohio, with
lesser amounts across the remainder of the Ohio Valley today and
tonight. A secondary low pressure developing along the South
Carolina coast tonight tracks northeast off the North Carolina
Outer Banks, which produces an area of 5 to 10 inches of snowfall
a large portion of Virginia, with 3 to 5 inches of snowfall
possible near Washington DC. Dry air across New England will
result in a sharp cutoff to the snowfall across central and
southeast Pennsylvania into far southern New Jersey.

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.
