The occluded low pressure system is expected to advance east
toward the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic. A broad area of snow will
persist in the wrap around flow with the parent low that tracks
through northern Indiana and Ohio. Snow will persist across Upper
Michigan while tapering off across parts of the Mississippi
Valley. The Rain lifting up the East Coast is expected to
transition to mostly snow for New England although there may be
period where a wintry mix and/or freezing rain develops across the
Poconos, Berkshires, Adirondacks and Catskills. Snow accumulations
over 1 foot likely for the favored higher terrain of northern New
England with locally 2 feet possible. 

The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 PM CDT. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
