SNOW WILL CONTINUE THROUGHOUT THE EVENING IN THE SOUTHERN TO
CENTRAL PLAINS AND OVERNIGHT IN THE MISSISSIPPI VALLEY WITH MAINLY
LIGHT ACCUMULATIONS EXPECTED. HEAVIER ACCUMULATIONS OF 4 TO 6
INCHES...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS...ARE POSSIBLE THROUGH SUNDAY
FOR PORTIONS OF THE UPPER GREAT LAKES AS THE SNOWFALL IS LAKE
ENHANCED. THE CENTRAL APPALACHIANS COULD SEE 2 TO 4 INCHES OF SNOW
THROUGH SUNDAY...WITH THE OHIO VALLEY AND LOWER GREAT LAKES
RECEIVING AN ADDITIONAL INCH OR TWO THROUGH SUNDAY. IN ADDITION TO
THE SNOW...FREEZING RAIN WILL CONTINUE TO BE A THREAT THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING FOR THE LOWER MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...TENNESSEE AND
OHIO VALLEYS...AND PORTIONS OF THE NORTHEAST WHERE AN ADDITIONAL
TENTH OF AN INCH OF ICE IS EXPECTED...WITH LOCALLY HIGHER AMOUNTS.
A SHARP PRESSURE GRADIENT ON THE NORTH SIDE OF THIS SYSTEM WILL
ALSO BRING GUSTY WINDS TO MUCH OF THE PLAINS AND THE MIDWEST...AND
COMBINED WITH THE COLD TEMPERATURES IN PLACE WILL PRODUCE
DANGEROUSLY COLD WIND CHILLS.
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.
