Winter weather hits Northeast as new storm system moves across country
A storm system will move across the country and bring more snow this weekend.
After heavy snow blanketed the Northeast, a new storm system will move across the country this weekend bringing snow and rain.
Heavy snow fell from southern Connecticut through the Hudson Valley and into parts of upstate New York on Friday as most of Long Island saw anywhere from 3 to 7 inches of snow.
Meanwhile, the New York City area accumulated just above 4 inches of snow as difficult travel conditions are expected through Saturday while crews work to clean up this wintry mess.
Central Park recorded 4.3 inches as of Saturday morning, which is the most snowfall from an event for the city since January 2022, when 8.3 inches fell.
The winter storm is beginning to wrap up, but some lingering light snow and wintry mix will stick around today along the I-95 corridor as an additional inch of snow and a light glaze of ice will be possible across the region.
Meanwhile, low temperatures across the Northeast from Washington, D.C., and Pittsburgh to the North and East will be near or below freezing on Saturday night, allowing for refreezing of any slush or snow that’s still on the ground.
Another system will move through the region late Sunday into Monday but will be mostly rain, though some wintry mix will be possible into higher elevations.
This weekend, a storm system will move from across the country and bring more snow to the inner mountain West on Saturday and eventually rain to the East on Sunday.
On Saturday, the Rocky Mountains will get snow from Idaho and Montana through Wyoming and Colorado. On Sunday, some snow may linger in the Colorado Rockies and into northern New Mexico.
Most of these mountain areas will see up to a foot of snow, but some areas could see up to 18 inches.
A blizzard warning has been issued for Minnesota, Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where strong winds up to 55 mph could blow the snow around and reduce visibility to near zero. Whiteout conditions are forecast just west of Minneapolis.
Winter Weather advisories were also issued from Wisconsin to New Jersey and most of the Northeast where ice -- freezing rain -- could be an issue Sunday into Sunday night.
The storm will hit Minneapolis, as well as Wisconsin in Green Bay and Marquette starting Sunday morning with heavy snow and strong winds.
Snow and winds will continue into Sunday night before ending Monday morning.
Heavy rain will hit Chicagoland and southern Michigan and all the way into western New York.
A flood watch has been issued near Buffalo where some localized flooding is possible
