Its current track has it arriving in this region overnight Wednesday, Feb. 22 into Thursday, Feb. 23, the National Weather Service says.
In the first image above from AccuWeather.com, areas in pink could see a mix of snow and ice, with areas in blue expected to see snowfall. Rainfall is expected south of those areas.
"While there is still some potential for the storm to track far enough to the south to bring snow or a wintry mix to cities such as Chicago, Detroit, Boston, and perhaps New York City, the recent trend in data suggests a more northerly path for the storm," AccuWeather Senior Long-Range Meteorologist Joe Lundberg said.
