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 possibly mix with sleet and snow by morning across the northern and western suburbs and continue as a mix on Tuesday morning….a coating to an inch or two is possible. High pressure returns for the mid-week time frame with breezy and cold conditions.
