 SIGNIFICANT WEATHER OUTLOOK
 NATIONAL WEATHER SERVICE QUAD CITIES IA IL
 331 PM CST WED FEB 27 2002
 
 ...ACCUMULATING SNOW POTENTIAL FOR THE END OF THE WEEK...
 
 THE LATEST COMPUTER FORECAST MODELS CONTINUE TO SUGGEST THAT A
 WINTER STORM WILL IMPACT PARTS OF THE MID-WEST FRIDAY INTO
 SATURDAY. A STORM SYSTEM IS EXPECTED TO DEVELOP OVER THE SOUTHERN
 PLAINS EARLY FRIDAY...THEN SWING NORTHEAST THROUGH THE MID
 MISSISSIPPI VALLEY...REACHING THE LOWER GREAT LAKES REGION BY
 SATURDAY MORNING.
 
 THIS TRACK IS FAVORABLE FOR ACCUMULATING SNOW FALL OVER MUCH OF EAST
 CENTRAL AND SOUTHEAST IOWA...NORTHWEST AND WEST CENTRAL ILLINOIS AND
 EXTREME NORTHEAST MISSOURI. CURRENT INDICATIONS ARE THAT THE
 SNOW SHOULD BEGIN LATE FRIDAY AND LAST INTO SATURDAY MORNING.  AT
 THIS TIME IT APPEARS THAT GREATEST THREAT FOR SIGNIFICANT SNOWFALL
 AMOUNTS WILL BE EAST OF THE MISSISSIPPI RIVER.
 
 IT IS TOO EARLY TO BE SPECIFIC ABOUT SNOWFALL AMOUNTS AND THE TIMING
 OF THE STORM.  HOWEVER...THIS STORM HAS THE POTENTIAL TO CREATE
 HAZARDOUS WINTER WEATHER CONDITIONS.  AS MORE DATA BECOMES
 AVAILABLE...THEN FORECASTERS WILL BE ABLE TO NARROW DOWN WHEN AND
 WHERE THE STORM WILL HAVE ITS GREATEST IMPACTS.
 
 YOU SHOULD CONTINUE TO MONITOR THE LATEST LOCAL WEATHER FORECASTS
 AND STATEMENTS THROUGH NOAA WEATHER RADIO...LOCAL NEW OUTLETS OR THE
 INTERNET...FOR THE LATEST FORECAST INFORMATION ON THIS STORM SYSTEM.
