Overview
- Winter storm warnings near Lake Michigan call for gusts up to 30 mph and localized snowfall that could reach 18 inches, threatening a messy Monday commute.
- Rain is changing to a wintry mix and then snow from Sunday night into Monday across the Great Lakes and interior Northeast, with classic lake-effect bands lingering into Tuesday.
- Freeze warnings cover parts of the South, including North Texas from Sunday night to Monday morning, as lows slip to near or below 32 degrees.
- Northwest winds widely gusting 20–40 mph will drive wind chills into the teens and 20s in spots and may bring tree damage where heavy, wet snow accumulates.
- The cold shot is short-lived, with temperatures rebounding sharply by Wednesday and Thursday, reaching the 60s and 70s in many southern and eastern regions.
