Light snowfall accumulations are likely on Tuesday which could impact the Tuesday morning commute.

An area of low pressure may affect the region Thursday night and Friday. The exact track of the low will determine which locations receive rain versus snow. Therefore, snowfall amounts and impacts are highly uncertain at this time.

Snow and the risk of slippery travel in the northeastern United States this week may not end with the storm early on, but could ramp up for Groundhog Day as a storm from the Ohio Valley arrives, according to Accuweather.

After snow sweeps over parts of the Northeast Monday into Tuesday, the potential exists for a more far-reaching swath of snow to arrive later in the week with frigid air to follow.

"The storm may spread wintry weather over a large area from the central Plains to the Northeast," AccuWeather Meteorologist Brian Thompson said.

While precise details of the storm will be worked out in the coming days, the storm can lay enough snow to shovel or plow and cause disruptions across the central Plains, lower Midwest states and into the Northeast during the first two days of February.
