The frontal boundary extending from the Tennessee Valley to the
Mid-Atlantic region will slowly lift north across the eastern U.S.
this evening. Snow and an icy mix will persist for portions of the
Mid-Atlantic, Central Appalachians, Northeast, and Ohio Valley,
yielding to an additional 1 to 2 inches of snow. A glaze or more
of ice may also occur, with more significant ice accumulation
possible across western Maryland and southwestern Pennsylvania. As
a low pressure system gains strength over the Tennessee Valley and
an associated cold front pushes across the Deep South tonight,
strong to severe thunderstorms are still possible across the Deep
South and Southeast. Heavy rain and flash flooding will also
remain a concern for portions of the Ohio and Tennessee valleys.
The center of 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. Snow and wintry precipitation are forecast to come to an
end by Wednesday morning across New England.

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