Although much of the snow across the Pacific Northwest has tapered
off, another low pressure center forming along an arctic front off
Vancouver Island is expected to bring the next round of snow into
the Pacific Northwest by tonight.  More than two feet of snow is
forecast for the Cascades while 2 to 4 inches of snow is possible
for the lower elevations of Washington, including Seattle, through
Monday.  Meanwhile, 6 to 10 inches of snow can be expected across
the Intermountain West through Monday as the cold front moves
farther to the east across the Rockies.  Looking further ahead, as
the cold front moves out into the the central Plains on Monday, a
low pressure system is forecast to intensify and spread
snow/wintry precipitation rapidly across the upper Midwest, Great
Lakes on Tuesday and into the Northeast Tuesday night.  On the
southern edge of the storm, heavy rain could lead to flooding
issues across the mid-Mississippi Valley into the Ohio Valley
through Tuesday morning.

The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 700 PM PST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
