Forecast Reveals When Next Three Snowstorms Will Hit Northeast

Much of the region remains buried under up to 3 feet of snow, with more winter weather on the way.

Published on Feb. 24, 2026

The historic snowstorm that struck the Northeast over the weekend has moved out, but a new forecast reveals that millions across the area should expect more winter weather in the days to come. The National Weather Service and independent meteorologists are warning of three additional snow events hitting the region over the next week and a half, although they are not expected to be as significant as the initial nor'easter.

Why it matters

The Northeast is still recovering from the record-breaking snowfall, and additional winter weather could slow those efforts. Residents and businesses in the affected areas will need to prepare for potential travel disruptions, slippery surfaces, and operational delays as the region braces for more snow.

The details

According to forecasts, a clipper storm will bring snow from northern Minnesota into New England on Tuesday and Wednesday, with a mix of rain and snow possible from Washington, D.C. to New York City. A second, fast-moving system is expected to hit the Midwest and eastern U.S. on Thursday, potentially bringing a stripe of snow north of the track and a mix of rain, snow, and ice farther south. A third system is forecasted to bring a widespread, low chance of at least minor winter weather impacts to the Northeast on Sunday, with chances rising to about 40% for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast by Monday.

  • On Tuesday and into Wednesday, a clipper storm will track across the Great Lakes, spreading snow.
  • From Wednesday night through Thursday night, another storm will move into the Midwest and reach the eastern U.S.
  • On Sunday, the NWS Weather Prediction Center forecasts show a widespread, low chance of at least minor winter weather impacts spreading across the Northeast.
  • By Monday, chances of winter impacts rise to about 40 percent for parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Northeast.
