Unsettled Weather Continues Across the U.S. on Sunday

Low pressure moving to the Northeast U.S. will continue the rainy weather, with possible flooding, for much of the Northeast on Sunday. Cold air behind the low will bring areas of snow from the Great Lakes into Northern New England. A low moving through the Rockies will strengthen into a potent snow storm for the northern Plains by Sunday night into Monday, with blizzard conditions expected.

Today: Mostly cloudy. A 20 percent chance of light rain in the afternoon.
