  • Temperatures tumble from Saturday’s unseasonable warmth to Sunday highs largely in the 40s to low 50s, with some locations experiencing a 20–30 degree swing.
  • Northwesterly gusts commonly reach 30–40 mph on Sunday, producing a brisk feel even where skies turn mostly sunny.
  • Brief wintry precipitation is possible in higher terrain and northern spots, including the Poconos, parts of New England, and locales downwind of the Great Lakes.
