March will come in a like a lion at midweek as the Northeast once again becomes the target of disruptive snow and ice.
Not one, but two consecutive days of disruptions to travel, school and daily routines likely await residents of the Northeast this week.
The storm set to involve into a blizzard across the northern Plains Tuesday night is expected to deliver a one-two punch of snow and ice to the Northeast Wednesday into Thursday.
While the exact details of the storm will become clearer in the upcoming days, latest indications point to snow spreading from the upper Great Lakes to upstate New York and central New England on Wednesday. Boston lies within this zone.
Rain will soak the mid-Atlantic, including from Washington, D.C. to Philadelphia to New York City.
In between these zones, the rain will either start as or remain a wintry mix from central Pennsylvania to southern New York and southern New England.
More snow will stream through the Northeast Wednesday night into Thursday as the main center of the storm arrives from the Midwest.
The snow during this time may take aim on New England with gusty winds threatening to whip the snow around along the coast.
However, the possibility also exists that the snow will take a more southern track, passing from southern Ontario to the corridor from Boston to New York City to Trenton as northern New England remains dry.
Central New England should receive snow Wednesday night into Thursday regardless of which scenario pans out, likely pushing totals from this midweek event past six inches.
The impending winter storm will come after most of the Northeast enjoys yet another early taste of spring on Monday. Temperatures will soar into the 50s as far north as southern New England with Washington, D.C. and Baltimore cracking the 60-degree mark.
The warmth will occur south of a light snowmaker that will press through northern New England Monday afternoon and night.
