NATIONAL SUMMARY

A massive winter storm can bring thunderstorms from eastern

Texas into the Mississippi River Valley today that can bring

localized damaging winds, hail and isolated tornadoes;

especially in Louisiana and western Mississippi. Freezing

rain can produce ice accretion in central into southeastern

Missouri and southern Illinois into Kentucky. Ice will weigh

down trees and power lines, leading to widespread outages in

those areas; roads can also be dangerously slippery and

delays are expected. Just to the north, snow and sleet can

mix. Straight snow can fall from central Indiana back

through Illinois into northern Missouri and a decent portion

of the Plains; blizzard conditions are expected in much of

central and eastern Kansas which can lead to blowing snow

and slippery roads.
