 To the north, lake-effect snow will persist as a trough of low pressure lingers over the Northeast. Total accumulations could be up to 3 inches across New England.
High pressure will build over the western Great Lakes, pulling in cool and dry air from Canada, though Michigan may see some lingering flurries.
High pressure over the Plains will allow for cool overnight lows and warm daytime highs with dry conditions. Gusts up to 20 mph were anticipated over the mid-Mississippi and Ohio River valleys.
The southern Plains will continue to see warm and dry conditions with strong winds. Red flag warnings have been issued since these conditions are favorable for fires to threaten the region.
Mild weather will persist over the West as high pressure hovers over the coast. Expect seasonable temperatures and fair weather across the Pacific Northwest, California and the Southwest.
Temperatures in the Lower 48 states on Monday ranged from a low of minus 16 degrees at Cook, Minn., to a high of 88 degrees at Edinburg, Texas.
