Overview
- A fast-moving clipper brings mainly 1–3 inches of snow Saturday for inland and higher-elevation areas from the Midwest to the Northeast, with lighter amounts near major coastal cities.
- Friday night into Saturday morning snow and occasional squalls could tangle commutes in several metros, including Chicago, Cincinnati, Detroit, Pittsburgh and parts of New England.
- A separate offshore low late Sunday into early Monday may brush southeastern Massachusetts and parts of the Mid-Atlantic with light snow, with the greatest risk on the South Coast, Cape and Islands.
- Coastal and urban corridors will see mixed precipitation or rain at times, limiting accumulations, while gusts near 20–25 mph in spots may briefly reduce visibility.
- National Weather Service guidance points to a sharp cooldown after the weekend systems, with dangerous wind chills below zero most likely Monday through Wednesday.
