The storm system is expected to track from the Central/Southern
Plains to the Northeast today while strengthening, bringing heavy
rain and life-threatening flash flooding to the Ohio and Tennessee
Valleys, heavy snow to the eastern Great Lakes and Northeast, and
icy mixed precipitation to areas in between. Numerous to
widespread flash flooding is expected, and the highest threat for
flash flooding will be in Kentucky and Western Tennessee. In the
north, heavy snow and strong gusty winds will create dangerous
driving conditions. Additionally, severe thunderstorms are
expected across the Lower Mississippi Valley and Southeast this
afternoon into tonight. Severe thunderstorm hazards could include
tornadoes, some strong, and damaging wind gusts. On Sunday,
precipitation will spread to the East Coast as the storm gains
eastward momentum. Faster storm motion will result in a lower
threat of flash flooding, but isolated flash floods may be
possible in portions of the Mid-Atlantic. The threat for severe
weather will also decrease on Sunday, but isolated severe storms
may be possible in the Southeast. Snow will gradually taper off in
the Northeast by Sunday night, but lake effect snow will likely
linger into early next week.
The next Storm Summary will be issued by the Weather Prediction
Center at 1000 PM EST. Please refer to your local National Weather
Service office for additional information on this event.
