The system is on track for Thursday, Dec. 15 into Friday, Dec. 16. 

In coastal areas along the I-95 corridor, mainly rain and possible sleet are expected from the system, according to the National Weather Service.

But farther inland, parts of northern New York, New England, and Pennsylvania could see at least a foot of accumulation from the Nor'easter.

"If the storm were to track slightly farther to the east, it could pull cold air down the Hudson Valley and allow some snow to reach New York City," according to AccuWeather.com. "In a similar scenario, then Boston could end up receiving heavy snow rather than wind-swept rain.

Look for sunny skies Wednesday, Dec. 14 with a high temperature in the mid 30s.

The storm system is due to arrive sometime after midday Thursday before winding down late Friday night or in the early morning hours on Saturday, Dec. 17.
