As folks continue to dig out from this week’s nor’easter, we’re watching another storm system that will likely bring an additional wintry mix to the Northeast later this week.

Before we get there let’s recap how much snow has fallen state by state, along with some of the highest overall snowfall totals.

State-by-State Snow Reports

Highest Snow Reports

Record-Breaking Snow Reports

Alerts

Winter weather alerts are still in place for many mountains of the Northeast today for the risk of heavy snow and ice. An Avalanche Warning is in effect for New Hampshire’s White Mountains and the Presidential Mountain Range. This will include the Mt. Washington, NH area for a high risk/danger of avalanches today. Avoid the backcountry and stay on groomed/maintained trails!

Forecast

Areas of the Northeast will continue deal with snow and wintry mix chances for the rest of today, though these chances will be highest in New England’s northern mountains and the highest terrain of New York and Pennsylvania.

Snow Forecast

Additional snowfall should be on the lighter side through Thursday morning, generally another 1-3 inches on top of what has already fallen.

Medium-Range Forecast

As noted below in Portland’s forecast, conditions will improve Thursday but then another wintry mix will be on the way for the end of this week on Friday. Another coastal storm could be near this same area this Sunday too!

End of the Week Snow Potential

The storm that’s currently over the West Coast will eventually move through the rest of the U.S. and by the end of the week, it will bring a chance of rain and snow to all of the Eastern Seaboard.

This next storm, while looking like it has some characteristics of the recent one, isn’t quite as robust.  The center of low pressure will be much farther north, actually in Canada as opposed to where the previous one had a low pressure center that moved from the Midwest, over the Appalachians, and re-formed in the Atlantic off the Delmarva Eastern Shore.

There should be cold enough air in place that along the warm front, snow will be possible into the deepest pool of cold air.  Closer to the actual front, there will much more of a ‘mix zone’ this time around where snow will be mixed with rain, sleet, and freezing rain too.

Once the relatively warmer air works far enough north, mostly rain should be in the forecast for a majority of the major cities along the I-95 corridor from the Mid-Atlantic to New England.

Most of this upcoming event’s snow should fall along the northern most tiers of  New England in northern Vermont, New Hampshire, and Maine.
