Headlines:

• 10" snow in Arkansas this morning


• Ice in Northern Ohio


• Wind Damage in the Carolinas Tonight


• Ice Storm Across Western N.Y. by Wednesday morning

The only possibility left for this storm to make headlines would be if any tornadoes hit populated locations tonight. Flooding is going to occur but no major flooding of any large rivers is forecasted. The ice storm will be bad but not crippling from Western New York to Northern New England.

Forecast:

Afternoon/Tonight: Moderate risk of severe thunderstorms through the Carolina's this evening into tonight. Fast moving storms will cause widespread wind damage. A few tornadoes are again possible but this storm system hasn't been a big tornado producer up to this point. The snow will end in St. Louis after dropping a good 6-10" over the city this morning. The freezing rain will be the worst from Cleveland up to Buffalo and into Syracuse. Up to 1/2 inch of ice is possible with isolated power outages expected.

Wednesday: The storm will move through Southern New England with only Northern New England dealing with snow and ice. Heavy rain will move through New York in the AM and head for Boston by Mid-morning.

Look Ahead: All weather computers show another East Coast storm for Friday into Saturday. This one looks to pose a significant flooding threat to areas hit by this current storm. Inland areas have a better chance of snow where as the big cities along the East Coast should see heavy rain. More on this later
