The surface low will move northward through Ontario and Quebec on
Tuesday, while another low is expected to form along the front on
Tuesday and move northeastward along the Mid-Atlantic and
Northeast coast. Snow will spread across the Northeast today, and
6 to 12 inches of snow is expected for the interior Northeast,
with 3 to 6 inches possible for northern portions of the
Mid-Atlantic states. Farther south, light snow is possible across
parts of the Lower Mississippi Valley and the Tennessee Valley as
the precipitation changes to snow behind the cold front, and the
Southern/Central Appalachians is expecting 1 to locally 4 inches
of snow. Heavy lake effect snows will remain downwind of the Upper
Great Lakes region in the cold air after the low passes, with an
additional snowfall of more than a foot possible over the next
couple of days. Additionally, an extremely cold arctic airmass is
now approaching much of the Northern Plains, Midwest, and the
Mid-Atlantic/Northeast. Dangerously cold and potentially record
breaking temperatures and wind chills are expected today and
Wednesday, particularly for the Upper Midwest, where wind chill
values could be as low as 40 to 60 degrees below zero for many
locations, including Chicago and Minneapolis.
The next storm summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 AM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
