A few days ago, a significant snowstorm hit the Northeast, burying millions under piles of snow. And, it seems, more wintry weather is on the way.
Another round of snowfall is predicted this week, which will only increase the already impressive snow totals in the region.
Major cities took a hit from heavy snow on Sunday. For instance, in places like New York City, snowfall reached about 20 inches. Providence, Rhode Island, experienced nearly 38 inches, while Boston saw close to 17 inches.
Now, forecasters are alerting that there might be two more rounds of snow in the middle to later part of the week.
The first wave is expected to arrive Tuesday afternoon, driven by a clipper system from southern Canada that will push into the Great Lakes and Northeast.
Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will face the snowfall first, but this system is quick-moving, so the snow won’t last long— just a few hours, really.
By Wednesday morning, the storm will shift toward the Northeast, affecting places like Pennsylvania, New York, and regions in New England.
While the upcoming accumulations should be lighter than what the region experienced on Sunday, they will still contribute to the seasonal totals, as indicated by predictions. Northern New England could expect around 1 to 3 inches, with northern Michigan seeing about 3 to 5 inches.
The effects of the second storm are anticipated to be less impactful based on the latest model data.
This low-pressure system is expected to shift east from the Central Plains by Thursday afternoon.
Forecast models suggest it could take a more southern route, which means rain and light snow might still hit parts of the Mid-Atlantic coast and Southeast.
Before this next wave, many cities are already experiencing above-average snow levels for the season. For example, Boston is currently nearly 10 inches over its average due to the recent storm.
