The National Weather Service predicts Presidents Day to be full of low-temperature winter storms across the country.
“Temperatures will be 10 to 20 degrees below average over the Northern Tier States by Monday morning,” NWS reported Saturday. The lower temperatures will remain through Tuesday before they drop even lower. Meanwhile, the Cascade range in Northern California will see heavy snowfall from Sunday through Tuesday.
“A couple of potent systems will create winter storm impacts the next few days across the U.S. Moderate/major issues from snow/ice are expected across the Upper Midwest to parts of the Great Lakes, while some impacts are likely in the West with a system digging down the West Coast,” NWS tweeted Sunday.
