The surface low pressure center over South Dakota is forecast to
intensify, and move northeastward across the Great Lakes and
southern Ontario as the upper-level trough continues to deepen.
Snow will continue to spread further northeastward across the
upper Midwest/Great Lakes and Northeast tonight. Additional
snowfall amounts are expected to range from 2 to 4 inches for the
Upper Midwest/Great Lakes and from 4 to 6 for parts of northern
New England and Maine through Thursday evening. Meanwhile, snow
and freezing rain are expected to wind down across the
Appalachians and the Mid-Atlantic states tonight. Additional
snowfall amounts are expected to be minimal across the interior
Mid-Atlantic as the snow transitions over to freezing rain and
rain as warmer air aloft spreads across the region, resulting in
ice accumulation of up to 0.1 inches over the interior
Mid-Atlantic states through Thursday evening. Across the Southeast
and Tennessee Valley, rainfall totals of 1 to 2 inches, with
locally higher amounts, are expected through Thursday.
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.
