The states that could be potentially impacted are: Missouri, Arkansas, Mississippi, Tennessee, Kentucky, Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania, New York, Vermont, New Hampshire and Maine.

As a reminder, we use ONLY National Weather Service, forecaster verified forecast data which is submitted into the NWS National Digital Forecasting Database, or NDFD. These models that I am including here are independent of the NWS data, and are meant as a “heads-up” only.

Such other states would include Louisiana, Alabama, Florida, South Carolina, North Carolina, and Virginia. Just a suggestion on my part.
