Significant winter weather will continue across the Southeast and
southern Mid-Atlantic coast tonight before gradually ending
Wednesday morning as the storm exits to the east. Several more
inches of snow are expected which will result in difficult,
hazardous travel overnight into early Wednesday morning. In the
storm's wake, anomalously cold air will remain in place through
the end of the week as high pressure builds into the region.

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.
