You can see the approaching cold front as well as it's strength.  Look for the possibility of severe weather from Missouri to the Texas/Louisiana Gulf Coast.  Freezing Rain and Flash Flooding are possible in Illinois.  The flooding concerns are due to the melting of snow as well as the frozen river system.  Heavy snow is possible in northern Minnesota along with eastern sections of Washington & Oregon and on into Idaho.
