Overview
- Light, fast-moving snow or flurries Sunday morning into early afternoon brings a coating to 1–2 inches for many, with isolated higher terrain up to around 3 inches before clearing.
- Arctic air settles in Monday, with single-digit morning lows in parts of the Northeast and Great Lakes and daytime highs mostly stuck in the 20s to 30s.
- A stronger system Tuesday is forecast to start as freezing rain or a wintry mix in colder spots—especially higher elevations and areas north of key corridors like I-80 and I-70—before changing to rain.
- Southern and lower-elevation zones are favored for mostly rain, including the Kansas City metro south of I-70 and much of southern New England, limiting snow and ice totals there.
- Late week turns wetter and milder, with highs rebounding into the 40s to 60s across the Great Lakes, near 70 possible around Pittsburgh, and upper 70s to low 80s along the Gulf Coast.
