"Another major storm has begun to cross the nation with areas of heavy snow, flooding rain and severe thunderstorms. The worst conditions with the storm may center over the Palm Sunday weekend.

Like many storms during the second half of winter, this first major storm of the spring could threaten lives and property, bring significant travel disruptions and foil outdoor plans.  The storm will drive cold air southward over the Rockies and part of the Great Basin.

After bringing drenching rain and heavy mountain snow to the Northwest and part of the Rockies later this week, a storm from the Pacific will reorganize over the Central states this weekend.

The storm will move eastward along a strong temperature contrast from south to north. Almost midwinter cold will linger in the northern tier states, while warmth and humidity build over the Deep South. This temperature contrast will likely be compressed in the middle with a distance of a couple hundred miles or less potentially separating temperatures in the 80s from the 20s and low 30s."

We had snow in VA this morning.  Now it is quite cold, overcast and so, we'll see what happens.  It IS interesting, i.e., coming on the Palm Sun. weekend.... if it does!
