Moderate to heavy lake effect snow is expected downwind of the Great Lakes, with the Chicago metro potentially receiving 6 to 12 inches of snowfall. A frigid airmass will bring very cold temperatures to the Central U.S. and Mississippi Valley today, migrating into the Eastern U.S. on Monday. Dry and windy weather will bring critical fire weather conditions to South Texas today. Read More >

(excluding ship data)
1. The designator specified in this table should be used to the greatest extent possible to indicate the geographical area of the data contained within the text of the bulletin or where the geographical designator is needed for addressing purposes.
2. Where the geographical area of the data does not correspond exactly with a designator, the designator for the geographical area most approximating that of the data shall be used. This is important for aviation products where the subject area extents beyond national boundries (i.e. SIGMETS, etc..).
3. When the table does not contain a suitable designator for the geographical area and for METNO and WIFMA messages, the use of XX as the alphabetic designator shall be used.
4. This table is subdivided into two parts: the first part contains geographical designators related to countries or tarritories in each RTH zone of responsibility for collection of observational reports, areas of forecast, and for use in administrative or service messages. The second part contains those designators for vast areas such as areas of analyses, areas of forecast (if appropriate), continents, hemispheres, oceans, etc.
