- Sunday Night Into Monday: Lake-effect snowbands over at least the western Great Lakes snowbelts, including Michigan, Indiana, possibly into parts of Chicagoland. Lake-effect snow may then develop later over the eastern lakes' snowbelts in northern Ohio, northwest Pennsylvania and western New York. Snow showers may also spread through the western Great Lakes into the Ohio Valley and the central and southern Appalachians.

The National Weather Service office in Chicago is warning of "life-threatening travel conditions." In their morning forecast discussion, they explained, "Where the snow bands are most intense, total snow accumulations of 12 to 18 inches are expected with a ceiling of 2 to 4 feet if snow bands end up stationary."

They warn that the heaviest snow accumulations could set up in Cook County from Sunday night into Monday morning.

- Monday - Tuesday: Lake-effect snow may continue in the Great Lakes before tapering off from west to east. Leftover snow is possible in the Adirondacks of upstate New York, high country of northern New England and Appalachians.
