As winter weather continues to grip parts of the United States, a significant winter storm will impact the Northeast, including the New York City metro area, early this week.
Meanwhile, winter storm warnings remain active in the central U.S., signaling hazardous conditions for travelers.
Northeast Prepares for Snowfall, Travel Disruptions Anticipated:
Winter storm watches and cautions have been posted in the Northeast, including areas such as State College, Hartford, and Boston, where travel disruptions are expected due to potentially difficult road conditions. The incoming storm could particularly impact the Tuesday morning commute.
As rain and snow move across the Southern Plains, rain is expected to transition into snow in the mid-Atlantic states starting early Monday.
This transition is anticipated to continue into Monday night as low pressure strengthens, leading to widespread snowfall across southern New England and the mid-Atlantic states on Tuesday.
Snowfall Forecast Indicates Significant Accumulation in Boston and New York City:
According to current forecasts, parts of the Interstate 95 corridor, including Boston, could receive more than 5 inches of snow. New York City may see up to 3 inches of snow, while Boston could experience over 8 inches of snowfall.
Travelers are advised to prepare for potentially hazardous conditions during the Tuesday morning commute, with the possibility of flight delays at major Northeast hubs.
