...Dangerous Arctic airmass will persist over the eastern Great Lakes,
Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic and Northeast tonight...

...Lower elevation rain and higher elevation snow continues for the
Pacific Northwest to the northern Rockies Sunday...

...Warmer-than-average temperatures continue for much of the central to
western U.S....

A bitterly cold Arctic airmass that has overspread the eastern Great
Lakes, Ohio Valley, Mid-Atlantic, and Northeast following a pair of cold
front passages is expected to persist through tonight.  Lingering gusty
winds will lead to dangerously cold wind chills as low as the negative 30s
across the Interior Northeast/New England and the single digits and teens
elsewhere, particularly through the morning hours. Conditions are expected
to moderate through the early part of the week, with highs Monday and
Tuesday increasing by around 10 degrees or so each day.

Onshore flow accompanying a Pacific system is spreading precipitation
across the Pacific Northwest and into the Rockies and Great Basin Sunday
afternoon.  Light to moderate rain showers should continue initially for
lower elevations/valleys inland through the northern Great Basin/Rockies. 
Rain may transition to a wintry mix for some lower elevation locations
Sunday night into early Monday as cooler air filters in, though
accumulations should remain limited. Some precipitation is also expected
into adjacent portions of the northern High Plains. Higher elevation
mountain ranges from the southern Cascades to the northern Rockies will
see moderate to locally heavy snowfall. Precipitation chances will quickly
decrease into the day Monday as the influx of moisture ends, with the snow
lingering longest for higher elevations of the northern Rockies. Another
system looks to bring some moderate lower elevation rainfall and heavy
high elevation snow further south into California and the Sierras Tuesday.

The northern tier of the country may see some light icing and snow showers
as a clipper-like system moving along the U.S./Canadian border.  As it
reaches the Great Lakes the system will increase in intensity yielding
moderate snow for Upstate New York/New England Tuesday.  Moisture
advecting ahead of a cold front in the Mississippi Valley into the
southern Plains will aid in the development of showers and thunderstorms
possibly as early as Tuesday morning, but more likely into the day on
Tuesday.

Warmer-than-average conditions will continue into the early part of the
week across much of the central to western U.S. The greatest anomalies
remain focused on the northern to central Plains, where highs as warm as
the 60s and 70s are upwards of 35-40 degrees above early February
averages. Some daily record-tying/breaking highs may be reached Monday
across the central Plains. A cold front will bring closer to average
conditions for portions of the northern Plains Monday, with highs in the
40s. While not quite as anomalous, conditions still remain above average
across much of the Interior West, with highs into the 50s and 60s, and
across the southern tier with 70s to low 80s from the southern Plains west
through the Southwest to southern California. The incoming Pacific system
will keep temperatures closer to average for the Pacific northwest,
northern California, and northern Great Basin, with highs in the 40s and
50s. Improving conditions will spread into portions of the Ohio/Tennessee
Valleys and Southeast Monday, with highs increasing into the 40s and 50s
to the north and 60s and 70s to the south.
