bands snow showers are expected to continually push into the
panhandle through the late week. Another organized band is likely to
push through the area late Tuesday night through Wednesday morning.
Snowfall accumulations of 6 to 12 inches are expected through

that repeatedly move over the same location. Advisories could be

continue over the same area.
