If Grace Gummer were to encounter Caroline Kennedy on the street, she knows just what she would do. "I bow to her; I say thank you; I let her speak," Gummer, who plays Kennedy on Love Storysays. "I have so much admiration and respect for Caroline, and my greatest hope is that I did right by her."

It's easy to admire Kennedy. She has, after all, served twice as a United States Ambassador (once to Japan, once to Australia), written and edited a number of books, and lent her efforts to causes including the NAACP Legal Defense and Education Fund, the Kennedy Library Foundation, and American Ballet Theatre. "She's a formidable woman who I really look up to," Gummer notes.

But Love Story isn't focused on Kennedy's accomplishments. (Well, not entirely; the character does, in occasional fits of sibling rivalry, remind her brother John that she's already made something of herself while he's still trying.) Instead, Gummer's Kennedy serves as a voice of reason, reminding her brother and his soon-to-be wife, Carolyn Bessette, of their responsibilities and—even though sometimes it seems like she's being sensible against her will—trying to lead by example.

"Aside from the series being a story I could really sink my teeth into," Gummer says, "Ryan Murphy [an executive producer of Love Story] explained to me why she was so important. Caroline is part of the love story, too; that sibling relationship is integral to the show." It's also changing as the season progresses.

"I don't think she was always this trusted voice for John," Gummer says. "I think she took on that role, especially after the passing of their mother. She was a real woman with real struggles—and obviously a lot of tragedy in her life—and was not perfect but was invested in carrying on the legacy of this family and inevitably became, in our telling of the story, a matriarchal figure. I think she's also so fed up with him." It's true and watching Gummer's Caroline endure her younger brother (portrayed by Paul Anthony Kelly), plays a large part in making characters who are essentially American royalty feel relatable. "The sibling banter is real," says Gummer, who's one of four siblings herself. "That was important to us."

The banter might feel real, but it's still important to note that Love Story is a dramatization. "It's not a documentary," Gummer says. "It's a retelling of a story about these two people and their love triumphing over an immense amount of adversity. In playing a real person, there's a duty to uphold; I did a lot of research, and I always tried to capture the essence of Caroline instead of trying to do an imitation. We're expanding on a story and retelling it."

Some parts of the series, however, do hit a bit close to home. Take, for example, the crowds that have been flocking to the Manhattan apothecary C.O. Bigelow where Bessette is said to have bought her preferred tortoiseshell headbands. "That's my pharmacy, too," Gummer says. "I was in there today, so I think about it all the time."

In this week's episode, titled "Obsession," Caroline and her sister-in-law find themselves at odds thanks to the intense press attention Bessette has faced since her relationship with John became public. "For Caroline, privacy is paramount—and I can definitely relate," says Gummer, who has her own experience with familial notoriety. "She's invested in protecting her family; her entire life has been spent in the public eye, so any disruption is something she's trying to work against. Before this episode, I was in my own world in the show, in Caroline's head and in her relationship with John. Now, all of a sudden, the story has expanded and it's this amazing moment about these two women coming together and trying to make sense of who they are to each other and who they're going to be."

Of course, viewers know that there isn't much time left for the two women to figure their relationship out, but the situation is still one that let Gummer stretch her muscles as a performer. "I was so proud to be able to play someone with such integrity and honor," she says—but just because the role was fulfilling doesn't mean it was always easy. "There's a lot of her story, and the story in general, that's entrenched in tragedy. I was ready for some of that to end."

Welcome back, winter!

After an extended May preview, the "false spring" in the eastern United States is over, and is being replaced by more typical chilly March weather (for now).

Highs in the 60s, 70s and 80s are being replaced by highs in the 40s, 50s and 60s, AccuWeather said.

Along with the chill, a pair of snowstorms are in the forecast for the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes over the next couple of days and later in the weekend, with heavy snow likely in parts of Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan.

Meanwhile, the southwestern U.S. is seeing a dramatic warm-up, with record heat possible in cities such as Los Angeles, Phoenix and Las Vegas as temperatures soar into the 90s.

Overall, the weather pattern over the next week or so will be similar to the pattern seen for much of the winter, with cold in the East and heat in the West.

Jose Castillo of Tarrytown, NY. walks through snow along Route 9 in Tarrytown during the early hours of the winter storm Jan. 25, 2026. The storm was predicted to drop up to a foot of snow on the lower Hudson Valley. A huge winter storm dumped heavy amounts of snow and ice across wide swaths of the U.S.

A winter reality check

"Straight out of the textbook for wild swings in March weather, this winter reality check will follow on the heels of a severe weather outbreak and spell of record warmth in the central and eastern U.S. that will now intensify in the Southwest," said Weather.com meteorologist Jonathan Erdman in an online forecast.

The warmth included temperatures in the 80s as far north as New York City.

However, unlike the persistent cold from late January to February, this time, colder air will come in waves with warm surges in between, and March sunshine lending a hand, AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski said in an online forecast.

While the eastern half of the U.S. shivers, the West will be very warm by early next week.Polar vortex ends 'false spring'

Not every cold wave is tied to the polar vortex, but this one is, AccuWeather said.

Another displacement or weakening of the polar vortex is underway, which can allow bursts of Arctic air to spill into the Midwest and Northeast at times, according to AccuWeather lead long-range meteorologist Paul Pastelok.

"There will be an active storm track with snow and ice along the U.S./Canada border this week," Pastelok said. "The wake of these storms will help draw colder air farther south. As the pattern evolves, a storm sometime from March 16-19 can bring mixed snow, ice and rain to parts of the East, with a more significant discharge of cold air to follow from the Plains to the East."

Some subzero lows are possible in parts of North Dakota, Minnesota, Wisconsin and Michigan's Upper Peninsula early next week, Erdman said. Much of the Deep South, including parts of far northern Florida, is forecast to dip below the freezing mark.

When will it warm up in the East?

If you've had enough of winter weather, especially following the recent warmth, there is some good news in the forecast, Erdman said.

"Warmer air should work its way eastward in the Plains by the middle of next week, then may ooze farther east later next week," Erdman said in an online forecast. "However, some longer-range models are suggesting some chillier air may spill back into parts of the Midwest and Northeast during the week of March 23."

After an Alberta Clipper dumps snow across the northern tier over the next couple of days, it is becoming more likely that a second, more significant winter storm will develop across the northern High Plains before rapidly strengthening as it moves into the Upper Midwest and Great Lakes over the weekend, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration's Weather Prediction Center said in an online forecast.

"At least six inches of snow is likely, with much higher amounts possible," the WPC said. "Snowfall rates that will likely exceed 1 inch per hour will combine with strong winds gusting 30-50 mph to produce extremely reduced visibility and dangerous to potentially impossible travel at times."

Weather Trader meteorologist Ryan Maue, in an email to USA TODAY, said that the storm could be classified as a bomb cyclone, and that blizzard conditions are likely.

Southwestern warmth could break records

While the East and central U.S. shivers, the southwestern U.S. will see near-record warmth over the next week or so.

Record highs may be challenged in Los Angeles on Thursday, March 12 and Friday, March 13, with temperatures near 90 degrees, AccuWeather said. Records could also be topped in Las Vegas and Phoenix through the weekend as the early-season desert heat wave throttles up.

Next week, Phoenix could hit the 100-degree mark as the heat intensifies. If the temperature in the city reaches the century mark before March 26, it would be the earliest 100-degree reading on record.

A Northwest mess

A plume of Pacific moisture with embedded storms will bring multiple rounds of heavy rain and mountain snow to western Washington, northwestern Oregon and southern British Columbia through the end of the week, Sosnowski said.

On Thursday, March 12, strong winds were reported across much of the interior Northwest. Tens of thousands of customers were without power in Washington and Idaho, according to USA TODAY's outage tracker.
