Just days after a historic blizzard buried millions across the Northeast, the region is bracing for more winter weather. Forecasters are warning that another round, possibly two, of snow is likely through the middle and latter part of the week, with the first system expected to move in on Tuesday afternoon. While accumulations are not expected to be as significant as Sunday's historic storm, they will still add to seasonal totals across the region.

Why it matters

The Northeast has already been hit hard by a record-breaking blizzard, with cities like New York City, Providence, and Boston seeing massive snowfall totals. Additional snow could further disrupt transportation, cause more power outages, and strain emergency services in the region.

The details

The first round of snow will develop on Tuesday afternoon as a clipper system from Southern Canada moves into the Great Lakes and Northeast. Areas located in Michigan's Upper Peninsula will experience the snow first, but the system's fast-moving nature will limit snowfall to a few hours. By Wednesday morning, the storm will pivot into the Northeast, affecting Pennsylvania, New York, and New England. The second round is looking less impactful, with forecast models suggesting a more southerly track that would keep the rain and lighter snow across parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

  • On Sunday, major hubs were slammed with excessive snowfall, with New York City recording about 20 inches, Providence, RI experiencing almost 38 inches, and Boston seeing close to 17 inches.
  • The first round of snow will develop on Tuesday afternoon.
  • By Wednesday morning, the first round of snow will affect Pennsylvania, New York, and New England.
  • The second round of snow is expected to move in by Thursday afternoon.
