The frontal boundary extending from the western Gulf Coast to the
Mid-Atlantic region will continue to slowly move across the
eastern U.S. this evening. Snow and an icy mix will persist for
portions of the Mid-Atlantic, Central Appalachians, and Ohio
Valley. As a low pressure system gains strength across the Lower
Mississippi Valley this evening. Snow has tapered off or
diminished across much of the Southern Rockies and the adjacent
High Plains, although snow is currently impacting southern Kansas.
Bands of snow will spread eastward across the Middle Mississippi
and Ohio valleys yielding additional snowfall of 1 to 2 inches. A
glaze or more of ice may also occur. Strong to severe
thunderstorms are still possible across the Lower Mississippi
Valley this evening. Heavy rain and flash flooding will remain a
concern for portions of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys this
evening. The storm system will 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 900 PM CST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
