KEY MESSAGE 1)
MID LEVEL ENERGY WILL MOVE OUT OF THE WESTERN US THIS WEEKEND IN
ZONAL FLOW ALOFT AND PROGRESS EAST ACROSS THE OHIO VALLEY INTO EARLY

SHIFT EAST ACROSS THE TENNESSEE AND OHIO VALLEY REGION. THIS WILL
ALLOW FOR PCPN TO OVERSPREAD OUR REGION SUNDAY INTO MONDAY. THERMAL
PROFILES AND ANY SNOW AMOUNTS WILL BE DEPENDENT ON THE EXACT TRACK
OF THE SYSTEM, BUT AS OF NOW, IT LOOKS LIKE SOME ACCUMULATING SNOW
WILL BE POSSIBLE ALONG AND NORTH OF THE OHIO RIVER. FOR NOW, WILL
KEEP MORE OF A RAIN/SNOW MIX ACROSS OUR SOUTH.
