...LONG LASTING WINTER STORM WILL BRING SNOW THROUGH TUESDAY...

A complex low pressure system is moving out of the Midwest and

Great Lakes today. Snow is likely to begin in southern New

Hampshire this evening with a period of heavy snow likely

overnight Sunday night into early Monday morning. Snow is expected

to decrease in intensity during the day on Monday with another

round of heavier snow possible Monday night into Tuesday primarily

affecting the coastal plain of Maine. Due to the long duration

nature of this winter storm, storm total snowfall amounts will be

hard to forecast and hard to measure. However, the prolonged

period of snow will lead to wintry driving conditions lasting into

Tuesday.
