At this time, we are tracking a pair of snowmakers through late this week, followed by another potential storm this weekend into early next week. Let's take at look at these systems and see if any of this snow will be significant enough to become our next named winter storm.
Mid-to-Late Week Snow
First, a weak clipper brought a light dusting of snow from the eastern Great Lakes to the interior Northeast on Wednesday.
At the same time, a separate system continues to sweep east from the central Plains to the Midwest. Mainly light to moderate snowfall accumulations are forecast from the Plains into the Midwest. After that, this system will sweep into the Northeast where the question has been whether it would have a significant impact on the region.
Significant Snowstorm Ahead?
Yet another potent disturbance will start to dive south of the Canadian border and into the Great Lakes on Saturday. This system will then sweep into the Northeast Sunday, lingering through Monday and, perhaps, Tuesday, particularly if low pressure develops off the East Coast. Sounds familiar, right?
It is too early to determine precise snowfall totals, however, this system has the potential to lay down a swath of significant snow from the northern Great Lakes into the Northeast.
The Northeast, including a large swath of the I-95 urban corridor, could see a prolonged period of snow, perhaps heavy at times, from later Sunday through Tuesday.
