The frontal boundary extending from the Southern Plains to the
Mid-Atlantic region will continue to slowly move across the
eastern U.S. today.  Snow and an icy mix will continue this
morning across portions of the Mid-Atlantic, Central Appalachians,
and Ohio Valley. As a low pressure system gains strength across
the Lower Mississippi Valley today, snow currently impacting the
Southern Rockies and southern Kansas will spread eastward across
the Middle Mississippi and Ohio valleys. This second surge of
moisture will produce an additional 1 to 2 inches of snow across
the Midwest and Ohio Valley, as well as, a glaze or more of ice.
Across the Deep South strong to severe thunderstorms are expected.
Heavy rain and flash flooding is a concern in the eastern Ohio and
Tennessee valleys this afternoon and evening. The storm system
will then advance east into the Mid-Atlantic Tuesday morning,
bringing 3 to 6 inches of snow and an icy mix across the eastern
Great Lakes, interior Northeast, and New England.

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 300 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
