Snow across the Missouri Valley and Midwest will continue to
gradually lighten and taper off from west to east today, with
additional light accumulations of 1-3" possible through the early
afternoon. Further east, moderate to heavy snow will continue
throughout the Ohio Valley and eastern Great Lakes this morning,
with snowfall rates of 1-2"/hr possible, leading to an additional
6-10" of snow across a thin stripe from central Indiana to
southeastern Michigan. Over the interior Northeast and
Appalachians, precipitation is expected to begin as moderate to
heavy snow, albeit eventually switching to mixed precipitation and
rain, as the low-pressure center tracks inland, sending a surge of
warm air northward on the east side of the low. Peak snowfall
rates in the interior Northeast are likely to range between
1-2"/hr, leading to potentially dangerous travel conditions before
precipitation changes to sleet, ice and rain later in the
afternoon and evening. Heaviest accumulations will be confined to
northern stretches of interior New England, with widespread 8-12"
possible. Furthermore, ice accumulations of up to 0.1" is forecast
across areas extending from the northern Appalachians through New
England.

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.
