A new winter storm system is expected to bring more snow to the Tri-State Area, just days after a major blizzard dumped over two feet of snow in parts of New York and New Jersey. While not as severe as the previous storm, the upcoming system is still expected to make for a messy morning commute on Wednesday, with a coating to 2 inches of snow forecast for most areas.

Why it matters

The Tri-State region has already endured a historic blizzard, and this additional snowfall could prolong the recovery efforts and create further disruptions to daily life and transportation. Residents will need to be prepared for continued wintry conditions and potential travel challenges.

The details

The new storm system is expected to move in overnight, bringing mainly snow with perhaps some rain along the coastal areas around daybreak. Most areas will see a coating to 1 inch of snow, while locations north and west of New York City could pick up 1-2 inches or more before the precipitation tapers off. There is also a chance of additional rain or snow on Thursday.

  • Snow is expected to develop overnight on Tuesday, February 25, 2026.
  • The snow is forecast to taper off on Wednesday morning, February 26, 2026.
