THIS IS JUST THE BEGINNING OF WHAT WILL BE ANOTHER VERY ACTIVE
WINTER WEATHER SYSTEM FOR THE CENTRAL AND EASTERN UNITED STATES.
THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM CURRENTLY OVER TEXAS AND THE DISTURBANCE
OVER THE MIDWEST ARE FORECAST TO MERGE AND MOVE TOWARDS THE EAST.
AS THAT HAPPENS...A STRONG COASTAL LOW IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP AND
BRING MORE WIDESPREAD RAIN AND SNOW TO THE EAST COAST...BEFORE
FINALLY MOVING OUT TO SEA LATE ON WEDNESDAY.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE HYDROMETEOROLOGICAL
PREDICTION CENTER AT 900 PM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL
NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS
EVENT.
