Just days after a historic blizzard buried millions across the Northeast, more snow is falling across parts of the interior Northeast and New England in what has been the most active winter in recent years for the region. Fortunately, for the winter-weary, this is a fast-moving system that will reach the coast through the morning commute on Wednesday before quickly exiting by the afternoon. Meanwhile, forecasters are monitoring another chance for rain and snow on Thursday and Friday morning.

Accumulations were not significant but added a small layer of flurries that hampered the morning commute in many locations along the coast that continue to dig out from Monday’s historic blizzard.
Meanwhile, parts of Upstate New York that were not impacted by the weekend coastal system could see some lake-effect snow early Wednesday afternoon off the shores of Lakes Erie and Ontario.

Thursday’s storm is looking less impactful for the Northeast. An area of low pressure is expected to move east from the Central Plains by Thursday afternoon.
According to the FOX Forecast Center, forecast models currently are suggesting a more southerly track with this system.
This would keep the rain and lighter snow across parts of the Mid-Atlantic and Southeast.

“The trend is kind of keeping this more of a rain story than a snow story and also impacting more of the Mid-Atlantic than the Northeast,” FOX Weather Meteorologist Britta Merwin said Wednesday morning.
Even before the next round of snow arrives, many cities are already well above their average seasonal snowfall.
Boston, for example, now sits nearly 10 inches above average following the recent historic blizzard.
