Sunday will start off sunny with a high temperature in the low 40s, but wind-chill values between 15 and 25 degrees thanks to wind speeds in the teens and gusts as high as 25 miles per hour. Clouds will increase in the afternoon.
Snow showers and heavier squalls will be possible Sunday afternoon into the middle of the evening as the cold front moving south from Canada arrives in the region.
"Snow squalls are possible this afternoon into early this evening which may result in brief reductions in visibilities and hazardous travel conditions," the National Weather Service said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook statement issued early Sunday morning.
Squalls are most likely in eastern New York, northwestern Connecticut and western Massachusetts, on Sunday, the weather service said.
Motorists traveling throughout the Northeast on Sunday and Sunday evening should closely monitor the weather, according to AccuWeather.com, which noted that "during squalls, the blowing snow can dramatically reduce visibility and quickly result in slick conditions."
"Whiteout conditions from blowing snow can make driving nearly impossible," AccuWeather Meteorologist Thomas Geiger warned.
After the chance for snow showers and squalls ends late Sunday night, it will become partly cloudy overnight with the temperature falling to the mid to upper teens.
The outlook for Monday, Feb. 28 calls for sunny skies with a high temperature of only around 30 degrees.
