The time frame for the system is Thursday night, Feb. 15 into the early morning hours of Friday, Feb. 16, according to the National Weather Service.

Unlike the storm that moved through on Tuesday, Feb. 13, this system will dump the most snow in areas farthest north and inland.

In an updated forecast map above from AccuWeather.com, areas in sky blue are expected to see 1 to 3 inches of accumulation, with 3 to 6 inches in those spots shaded in Columbia blue. 

Up to 6 inches to a foot of snowfall is possible in the area in upstate New York shown in the darkest shade of blue.

Clouds will increase on Thursday, and it will be continued cold, with a high temperature in the mid to upper 30s and wind-chill values about 10 to 15 degrees lower.

The storm system will bring a mix of snow showers, sleet, and rain showers to areas farther south Thursday night after nightfall before it quickly moves out in the early morning hours well before daybreak on Friday, the National Weather Service said.

In those areas, "snow can cause poor visibility and slippery spots, leading to slow travel," according to AccuWeather.com.

Skies will quickly become sunny on Friday morning on what will be a breezy day with strong winds between around 10 and 25 miles per hour and gusts up to around 30 miles per hour. The high temperature will generally be in the upper 30s.

There will be a new chance for snow overnight Friday into Saturday, Feb. 17. It's uncertain at this point whether that system could produce some accumulation.

After morning clouds on Saturday, it will become mostly sunny with a high temperature in the mid-30s.

The outlook for Sunday, Feb. 18 calls for mostly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-30s.
