At 900 AM CDT...A strong low-pressure system with a minimum
central pressure of 989 mb or 29.21 inHg was located over eastern
Lake Huron, with an occluded boundary stretching east to a triple
point low in eastern Ontario. A cold front extended southwestward
from the triple point through western New York/Pennsylvania, while
a warm front extended eastward through the Northeast and into the
Atlantic. Latest RADAR and surface observations depicted ongoing
moderate to heavy snowfall on the northern flank of the
precipitation shield associated with the expansive storm system
along an axis stretching from Maine to Alabama. Strong northerly
winds have also persisted on the backside of the low, leading to
blowing snow and blizzard conditions at times. Light to moderate
sleet and freezing rain was also ongoing in northern Wisconsin. In
the warm sector of the system, a severe weather outbreak continued
across the Southeast.
