The first system will arrive Monday, March 2, followed by a stronger storm Tuesday, March 3, into Wednesday, March 4.
The first system will bring a mix of snow, sleet, and freezing rain from the Ohio Valley into the mid-Atlantic and parts of the southernmost Northeast on Monday. Light accumulation totals of around an inch or two are expected in areas where snowfall is expected starting Monday afternoon, including Washington, DC, Maryland, and Virginia.
A larger and more disruptive storm will develop Monday night and intensify Tuesday, spreading snow, sleet, and freezing rain farther north. Snow and ice are expected to develop Tuesday morning in areas like Albany, Boston, and New York City, with a wintry mix likely closer to the coast.
According to AccuWeather, the heaviest snow will fall in upstate New York and northern New England, while areas closer to the coast may see a transition to rain as warmer air moves in.
Both systems are expected to cause slippery road conditions and travel delays, especially during the morning and evening commutes. Major airports, including Washington, D.C., Philadelphia, New York City, and Boston, could face delays and cancellations.
Rainfall from the second storm may lead to urban flooding in parts of the mid-Atlantic and New England. Rising temperatures later in the week could also increase the risk of ice jams and river flooding.
Residents are urged to monitor forecasts and prepare for potential disruptions.
After these systems move through, a warmup is expected later in the week, bringing relief from the wintry weather.
