THE AREA OF LOW PRESSURE WILL CONTINUE TO TRACK EAST-NORTHEASTWARD

COLD AIR AND INSTABILITY ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THE LOW WILL SUPPORT
HEAVY SNOWFALL ACROSS PORTIONS OF THE MIDDLE/UPPER MISSISSIPPI
VALLEY INTO THE  GREAT LAKES STATES. THE HEAVIEST SNOW SHOULD FALL
IN A BAND FROM CENTRAL IOWA TO SOUTHERN MICHIGAN WHERE AS MUCH AS
6 TO 12 INCHES OF SNOW...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...IS
EXPECTED. ELSEWHERE...ABOUT 1 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW WILL BE
POSSIBLE. WITH THE EXCEPTION OF SOME LINGERING LAKE EFFECT
SNOWS...MOST OF THE HEAVIEST SNOWFALL SHOULD COME TO AN END BY
SATURDAY EVENING AS THE LOW PRESSURE SYSTEM BEGINS TO LIFT INTO
SOUTHEAST CANADA.

THE NEXT STORM SUMMARY WILL BE ISSUED BY THE WEATHER PREDICTION
CENTER AT 300 AM CST. PLEASE REFER TO YOUR LOCAL NATIONAL WEATHER
SERVICE OFFICE FOR ADDITIONAL INFORMATION ON THIS EVENT.
