Heavy snow is likely on the northwest periphery of this system, stretching from the southern High Plains to Great Lakes. The combination of strong winds and snowfall may create blizzard conditions across parts of the central and southern High Plains tonight. The heaviest snowfall from this system (including the potential for over a foot of snow) is expected to occur from southern Iowa to southern Wisconsin, including northwest Illinois. Additionally, light freezing rain is possible along the Appalachians on Tuesday as moisture surges up the eastern United States. Heavy snow is possible farther north into northern New England, where over a foot of snow is possible across the White Mountains of New Hampshire and Maine. Strong winds and heavy rain are also forecast from the Deep South to the East Coast on the warm side of the system. A Moderate Risk (level 3/4) of Excessive Rainfall is in effect for parts of the central Gulf Coast tonight and Eastern U.S. into Tuesday. Widespread and potentially significant river and flash flooding are likely in these regions. The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction Center at 900 AM CST.
