[quote]Low pressure continues to deepen as it moves slowly northward through Minnesota today.
By early this evening the pressure of the storm is forecast to be almost as low as Hurricane Karl at its peak intensity. Fortunately the winds, while strong, are not forecast to reach hurricane force, however, they should cover a very large area in the Midwest today.
Sustained winds of 20 to 40 mph and gusts of 40 to 60 mph are forecast in North Dakota, South Dakota, Nebraska, northern Kansas, northern Missouri, Iowa, Minnesota, Wisconsin, Michigan, Ohio, northern Indiana and northern Illinois. Winds may gust close to 70 mph along the shores of Lake Superior, Lake Michigan and northern Lake Huron.
A squall line of severe thunderstorms is expected along the cold front extending from the storm. The thunderstorms should be in eastern Wisconsin, western Michigan, western Indiana, eastern Illinois, southeastern Missouri and western Kentucky this morning.
By early this evening the squall line should race to eastern Ohio and eastern Kentucky. Damaging wind gusts and isolated tornadoes are possible with the storms.
Cold air working into the west side of the storm changes rain over to snow in western North Dakota throughout the day today. Some areas in northwest North Dakota along the border with Canada could pick up an inch or two of accumulation by early evening.
High temperatures today range from the upper 30s and 40s in North Dakota to the very warm middle 70s to near 80 in southern Ohio and eastern Kentucky.
The storm slowly progresses into southwestern Ontario tonight and into central Ontario later Wednesday. That keeps the strong winds going through Wednesday.
It will also pull the colder air eastward changing the rain over to snow into north-central Minnesota by Wednesday afternoon.
The combination of the snow and strong winds could produce blizzard conditions in eastern North Dakota and western Minnesota later tonight through Wednesday.

Showers and thunderstorms are expected along and ahead of the cold front with some of the thunderstorms turning severe. Damaging wind gusts and isolated brief tornadoes could be produced by the strongest storms.
Scattered showers and isolated thunderstorms are possible in central and southern Florida today. None of those storms is expected to be very strong.
Breezy, but dry conditions are forecast for Oklahoma, Texas and Arkansas.
High temperatures should be in the upper 60s to middle 70s in Oklahoma, northern and northwestern Texas and western Arkansas. Elsewhere high temperatures reach the middle 70s to lower 90s with the hottest temperatures expected to be in central Florida and southern Texas.

Showers depart eastern New England this morning with drier conditions moving in there this afternoon. The remainder of the region will be waiting for the big storm over the middle of the country to send a wave of strong to severe thunderstorms eastward. The squall line is expected to arrive in western Pennsylvania and western West Virginia during the afternoon and should be into western New York, central and western Pennsylvania, West Virginia, extreme western Maryland and western Virginia by early evening.
Strong, damaging winds and a few isolated brief tornadoes are possible through the early evening hours.
Tonight the squall line continues to race eastward reaching eastern New York, western New England, New Jersey, eastern Pennsylvania, Delaware, eastern Maryland and central Virginia by Wednesday morning. Damaging wind gusts are still possible with the thunderstorms through Wednesday morning.
High temperatures today should hold in the upper 40s to middle 50s in northern Maine. Elsewhere temperatures should reach the middle 60s to lower 70s over the remainder of New England and New York and the middle 70s to lower 80s from Pennsylvania and New Jersey southward.

Unsettled conditions continue for the Pacific Northwest and northern Rocky Mountains today. Lower elevations can expected rain or showers with snow or snow showers in the mountains above 4,000 feet in Washington and Oregon and 5,500 feet in the northern Rockies. Snow accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are possible.
High temperatures in California, southern Nevada, Arizona and New Mexico should reach the 60s to lower 70s except in the deserts where upper 70s to middle 80s are possible.
