Forecasts indicate that several inches of snow may accumulate in regions north of M-59, with some models hinting at the possibility of even greater snowfall as conditions develop on Monday.
In regions south of M-59, we initially experience snow, but this will transition into a wintry mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain, accompanied by some rain showers as temperatures rise into the mid-30s. Some regions may experience as much as an inch of snow, along with a light layer of sleet or freezing rain.
