CHICAGO — After pummeling the Plains, a snow-producing system takes aim at the Northeast with more likely on the way.

WGN’s Chip Brewster and PHL17 meteorologist Mike Masco took a look at winter weather in the near-term forecast and long-range outlook. Though the current system is mostly missing Chicago, models are showing a strong chance of snow Sunday night. What’s more, a pattern shift is taking place on a continental level which looks to create conditions for multiple snowstorm chances in the next month or two.
