The low pressure center over Louisiana is forecast to intensify as
it moves quickly northeastward along the sharp front. The snow
and wintry precipitation associated with the system will continue
to spread northeastward across the Midwest, the northern Ohio
Valley, followed by the lower Great Lakes tonight, reaching New
England Thursday morning. Additional snowfall amounts are
expected to be 4 inches or less across the central Plains into the
Midwest through tonight. However, as the system intensifies, more
snow is forecast to impact New England Thursday and Friday with
total accumulations of 12 to 24 inches possible for northern New
England through Saturday morning. On the southern edge of the
snow, an extended area of freezing rain and sleet could result in
ice accumulations upwards to a quarter of an inch across the Ohio
Valley and into central New England. Farther south, the system
will ingest moisture-laden air from the Gulf of Mexico and then
deposit several inches of heavy rain from the eastern Gulf Coast
through the interior Southeast into the Mid-Atlantic for the next
couple of days.
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.
