The National Weather Service says a strong area of low pressure will develop off the mid-Atlantic Coast Sunday night and Monday morning. The storm system is currently forecast to track far enough offshore to spare the area from experiencing much impact. However, if the storm track trends any closer to the coast, then light snowfall accumulations may occur.

A second area of low pressure is expected to develop near the Mid-Atlantic coast late Monday into Tuesday. This system will likely bring accumulating snow to the region that could impact travel. There is still considerable ncertainty regarding exact snowfall amounts so please closely follow updates to the forecast over the next few days.

According to Accuweather, most of the Northeast and mid-Atlantic will get at least light intermittent snow between Monday and Wednesday next week, with the potential for some areas to receive heavier amounts depending on the strength and track of two storms.

An storm system set to form off the Southeast coast over the Atlantic at the end of the weekend will be worth keeping an eye on for those living along the mid-Atlantic coast and New England. The path of this storm will be one puzzle piece for the complex weather pattern early next week.

This storm may take a path close enough to the East coast late Sunday night through Monday, potentially brushing eastern Long Island and coastal New England with snow before tracking into Nova Scotia. This track would mean more snow for those that received accumulating snow on Friday. However, it is possible that it tracks far enough east and misses the East Coast altogether.

The strength of the Atlantic storm will play into which path it takes. Should the Atlantic storm become very strong, it is more likely to bring accumulating snow to the coastal areas and Nova Scotia.

Another batch of light to moderate snow and flurries, associated with a weaker Midwest storm, would then rotate eastward across the mid-Atlantic on Tuesday then track northeastward into Wednesday. This could lead to additional accumulating snow along the mid-Atlantic coast and into New England.

A second scenario would occur if the Atlantic storm remains weak and remains at sea on Monday. In this case, a swath of moderate to heavy snow may sweep from the mid-Atlantic through much of New England, with widespread and significant travel disruptions early next week. This would allow a second storm from the Midwest to become stronger and to move slowly toward the Northeast.

This morning drivers may come across patches of ice as yesterday's thaw has refrozen in areas.
