…Heavy snow possible from the Central Appalachians to Northern New
England…

…Heavy rain possible over the Southeast…

…Slight risk of severe thunderstorms over the Southeast into Central
Gulf Coast…

…Temperatures will be 20 to 45 degrees below normal over the High Plains
into the Mississippi Valley…

A developing storm over the Southern Mid-Atlantic will move northeastward
to just off Southern New England by Monday and moving into the Canadian
Maritimes by Monday evening.  The system will produce snow over parts of
the Central Appalachians that will expand into the Northern Mid-Atlantic
by Sunday afternoon.  The snow will expand into the Northeast by Sunday
evening and continue over the region through Monday evening.  In addition,
showers and thunderstorms will develop over parts of the Southern Plains
into the Lower Mississippi and Tennessee Valleys.  Showers and
thunderstorms will also develop over parts of the Southern Mid-Atlantic.
The showers and thunderstorms will move eastward off the Southeast Coast
by Monday morning.

Meanwhile, upper-level energy over the Middle Mississippi Valley into
parts of the Southern High Plains will produce snow over parts of the
Central Rockies eastward into the Middle Mississippi Valley that will move
eastward into the Ohio Valley ending overnight Sunday.  Disorganized
upper-level energy will move eastward from the Pacific into the Texas
Panhandle by Tuesday.  The energy will aid in producing rain and higher
elevation snow over parts of California eastward to the Central Rockies
through Monday evening.

In any case, the train sat idling in the tunnel for more than 30 minutes. While this might not have posed a severe danger in some circumstances, the train’s locomotives were burning low-grade coal substitutes because high-grade coal was hard to obtain during the war and the coal substitutes produced an excess of odorless and toxic carbon monoxide.

Approximately 520 of the train’s passengers were asphyxiated by the carbon monoxide as they sat in the train…..”
