Discussion              

A potent storm system will push out of the Tennessee Valley later today and up the Appalachians before transferring to an intensifying coastal storm by later tonight. Rain will overspread the region this evening and then likely mix with sleet late and then change over to snow early tomorrow morning and continue as snow on Tuesday morning perhaps still mixed with sleet. Accumulations are likely to be in the 4-8 inch range with the higher amounts across the northern and western suburbs and there can be an impact on the Tuesday AM commute. High pressure returns for the mid-week time frame with breezy and cold conditions.
