RAWLINS 1 NNW                         8.0                    
CENTENNIAL                            6.0                    


The primary low associated with this storm system will dissipate
in the next few hours, while the new low and associated surface
features will continue to the northeast along the Ohio Valley.
Warm air advection ahead of this system will lead to mostly rain
showers. The primary snowfall associated with this system has thus
ended. Some lingering snow showers may continue along the surface
trough in the Central Plains throughout today before a new storm
system develops over the southern High Plains later this evening. 

This will be the last Storm Summary issued by the Weather
Prediction Center for this event. Please refer to your local
National Weather service office for additional information.
