After a brief warmup to start the weekend, an early week storm system is now expected to bring a new round of accumulation snow to the region.

The time frame for the wintry mix with snow at times is Monday afternoon, Dec.16 into Tuesday morning, Dec. 17 as the powerful, quick-moving system pushes through.

At this time, about an inch to possibly 3 inches of snowfall accumulation is expected for the region, with several inches more possible in areas north and west of I-84.

There's still uncertainty with the storm track. So check back for updates in accumulation projections.

After a cloudy start, skies will eventually become mostly sunny Sunday, Dec. 15 with the high temperature in the mid 40s.

Temperatures will become sharply colder overnight, with a low in the upper 20s and wind-chill values between 20 and 25 degrees.

Clouds will roll in on Monday morning, with the chance for snow and a wintry mix starting around midday on a day in which the high temperature will be in the low 30s.

The chance for sleet and freezing rain will continue until around 9 a.m. Tuesday south of 1-287 in New York and the Merritt Parkway in Connecticut when the temperature is expected to rise to the mid 30s.

North of those areas, the chance will last until around noontime before the high temperature reaches the mid 30s. The high temperature will be in the upper 30s farther south.

Skies will gradually clear late in the evening and overnight, leading the way to a mostly sunny and cold day on Wednesday, Dec. 18, with the high temperature in the low 30s.
