Snow was to settle across portions of New York, Pennsylvania and western Connecticut, although accumulations were expected to remain light.
Snow showers also were predicted over the Northwest, particularly in the Cascades, northern Oregon, northern Idaho and western Montana.
A few inches of snow was to fall in the Sierra Nevada range of California, helping ski resorts around the Lake Tahoe area. The snow in the Sierras will end by nightfall, leaving dry conditions in place that are expected to persist throughout the next week.
The Southwest was expected to see a continuation of generally clear skies as high pressure bulges out from its center in the Plains.
Temperatures in the Southwest and Plains will be on the rise as this high allows warm air to flow northward from the Gulf of Mexico. Despite the continued influx of warm air, the Gulf coast will dry out significantly on Monday, putting an end to several days of relatively heavy rain.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states Sunday ranged from a low of 3 degrees at Saranac Lake, N.Y., to a high of 88 degrees at Laredo, Texas.
