Rounds of Snow to Continue for Northeast

A dip in the jet stream will continue to send bouts of chilly air and spotty snow into the Northeast through next week.
After a narrow zone of snow affects areas from upstate New York to southern New England tonight, a second swath of snow will aim for areas farther north Sunday night into early Monday.
The snow will attempt to reach areas missed by tonight's snow, with perhaps a slight overlap.
The overall pattern will continue to funnel near-average temperatures into the Northeast through next week, after an incredibly warm month as a whole.
Additional spotty rain and wet snow showers can occur on a couple of occasions into the Easter weekend. Most of the snow showers will tend to occur over the higher ground from northern Pennsylvania to southern Ontario.

It is possible the jet stream may relax and flatten enough to allow more warming and a break in chilly precipitation by Easter Sunday. However, since that is more than a week away, the timing of the break, if it occurs, is questionable.
