A major winter storm is expected from Sunday evening to Monday night with possible snowfall amounts of 10 to 20 cm.
There will be reduced visibility in heavy snow and blowing snow, and freezing rain is possible beginning Sunday evening through to Monday night.
A rapidly intensifying low-pressure system is expected to track over the Great Lakes. Precipitation is expected to begin as freezing drizzle or light freezing rain before transitioning to ice pellets or snow Sunday night.
Snow mixed with ice pellets and freezing rain at times is expected to change to snow Monday afternoon and end overnight.
There remains some uncertainty regarding the track of the low-pressure system, and as a result, exact precipitation amounts remain somewhat uncertain.
