Snow will make a return to the mid-Atlantic and Northeast Monday as a storm moves in from the Midwest. The good news is that the heaviest snow with the storm will stay north of Washington, D.C., Baltimore and Philadelphia, areas that were pummeled by the recent blizzards.
Late this past week, it was looking like these cities had a shot at picking up more substantial snowfall from this next storm. However, it now appears the storm will take a track farther north through the mid-Atlantic, bringing milder air into these cities and allowing rain to mix in with the snow Monday afternoon and evening.
A complete changeover back to snow is expected late Monday night before the area dries out early Tuesday morning.
The mixing will keep snowfall totals down to a coating to an inch or two across these metropolitan areas. Little or no mixing is expected in the northern and western suburbs, where snow totals could reach 2 to 4 inches.
A similar scenario is expected for New York City later on with a mix of rain and snow spreading in Monday evening and changing over to a bit of snow overnight into Tuesday morning. Currently, 1 to 3 inches is expected for the city with higher amounts north and west and lesser amounts on Long Island.
While snow totals will be marginal compared to the recent storms to hit the region, roads will still become slippery. People should allow plenty of extra time to get to work Tuesday. Airport delays are also likely.
The worst of the storm will target areas from the Virginias into the mountains of Pennsylvania Monday then Upstate New York and northern New England Monday night into Tuesday. A widespread 3 to 6 inches is expected across this general region with local amounts up to 6 to 10 inches.
Albany, N.Y., Concord, N.H., and Portland, Maine are some of the cities that may be hit with the heaviest snow. Travel will become dangerous with delays and cancellations of flights, school and other activities resulting.
