The low pressure system located in Kentucky will move
northeastward across the Mid-Atlantic today before consolidating
with the coastal low off of the New England coast this evening.
Snow and an icy mix will persist for portions of the northern
Mid-Atlantic, Central Appalachians and Northeast. This will lead
to an additional 3 to 6 inches of snow across New England and the
Interior Northeast. Up to a tenth of an inch of ice is likely for
parts of northeastern Pennsylvania, northwestern New Jersey and
the Hudson Valley. Snow and wintry precipitation from this system
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 400 PM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
