Cold air from Canada will move south, settling in the Eastern half of the country Sunday and lasting through most of next week.

As the cold air from the area of low pressure moves over the relatively warmer waters of the Great Lakes, lake-effect snow will once again return to the forecast, marking the first occurrence of the season for many areas.
