Overview
- - A strong cold front, which pushed through many areas Sunday, replaced recent warmth with a quick chill and gusts near 30–35 mph.
- - The National Weather Service issued freeze warnings and watches from the Midwest to the Mid‑Atlantic, with Chicago forecast to dip into the mid‑to‑upper 20s and officials urging protection for tender plants and outdoor pipes.
- - Showers are tapering through the day with rainfall from a few tenths of an inch to about an inch, a welcome drink in drought‑stricken southeast Louisiana but still a flood concern in saturated parts of the Toronto region.
- - Colder inland spots may see rain mix with wet snow and a light coating on cold surfaces by Monday morning in places like Northeast Ohio and Southeast Wisconsin.
- - The cooldown looks short as high pressure sets clear nights early this week and then a midweek warm‑up lifts many areas back into the 70s and 80s.
