inches of snow is possible in these areas. In higher elevations of
the Wind River Mountains, Bighorn Mountains, and portions of the
Rockies, over a foot of additional snow is possible over the next
couple of days. Rain will continue to spread north of the low and

rainfall totals generally less than an inch. As another front
moves into the Middle Mississippi Valley, an additional 1 to 2
inches of rain is possible there through Wednesday.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
