The storm system will track eastward from Nebraska to the greater
Chicago area by Sunday morning. During this time, the storm will
produce moderate to heavy snow for the northern Plains with
blizzard conditions possible, scattered to numerous
showers/thunderstorms and gusty winds from Texas to the Ohio
Valley, and mixed precipitation across portions of the Upper
Midwest. The surface low is forecast to maintain an intensity
around 990 mb as it tracks towards the Great Lakes region by
Sunday. Severe thunderstorms may develop along the trailing cold
across portions of the Lower Mississippi Valley for Saturday. The
storm will remain over the northern Plains through Saturday before
entering the Northeast Sunday and Monday, where it will continue
to cause hazardous travel conditions. Snowfall accumulations in
excess of a foot are possible across portions of the Dakotas and
northern Minnesota/Wisconsin.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 800 AM MST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
