Between 6 inches and a foot of snow were expected in the upper Great Lakes, and winds topping 40 mph were likely to cause blowing and drifting snow. The first lake-effect snow of the season was forecast for the eastern shores of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario.
Farther east, rain was moving into the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic and was expected to move off the coast Tuesday night and into early Wednesday. Rain and high-elevation snow were likely over the central Appalachians.
A high pressure system in Canada was moving southward over the Plains, bringing below-average temperatures from east of the Rockies to just west of the eastern seaboard. More dry and mild weather was forecast for the West.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of 10 degrees at Ketchum, Idaho, to a high of 93 degrees at Phoenix, Ariz.
