A widespread 1 to 3 inches of snowfall is predicted for the areas in light blue from the second of the storms, and 3-6 inches in the areas in darker blue, mainly inland New York and New England on Monday night, Dec. 1, into Tuesday, Dec. 2.

The Northeast is bracing for back-to-back storms that will bring rain, snow, and icy conditions, creating significant travel disruptions through the start of next week.

The first system, which brought heavy lake-effect snow to the Midwest, will move into the Northeast on Sunday, Nov. 30, bringing widespread rain and fog after dumping 6 to 12 inches of snow to parts of the Midwest and Ontario, Canada.

The first of the storms will move through the Midwest, bringing 6-12 inches of snow to parts of the Midwest and Ontario, Canada, before it moves into the Northeast on Sunday, Nov. 30, where temps should keep precipitation as mainly rain.

The National Weather Service said major travel corridors, including cities along the I-95 corridor such as New York, Philadelphia, and Boston, will see reduced visibility, delays, and hazardous conditions.

“More than 1,000 flight cancellations are possible this weekend,” AccuWeather Meteorologist Alyssa Glenny said. “Delays can quickly stack up at major hubs during de-icing and snow removal operations on runways and tarmacs. Travel disruptions will likely be felt far beyond the Midwest, with flight delays and cancellations rippling across the country.”

Rain will taper off Sunday night, followed by a mostly sunny Monday, Dec. 1, with high temperatures in the lower 40s. By Monday evening, however, a second storm system will begin to take shape, targeting much of the Northeast with snow, ice, and a wintry mix.

Boston could see accumulating snow from the second storm, while New York City, Philadelphia, Newark, and Baltimore are expected to receive a mix of snow and ice, according to AccuWeather.

Slippery travel is expected in the northern and western suburbs of New York City, Philadelphia and Boston Tuesday, Dec. 2, with rain likely in downtown areas. 

"Secondary coastal development could increase snowfall rates if cold air funnels south along the Hudson Valley," says AccuWeather. 

Heavier rainfall is expected farther south and could lead to ponding and slowdowns along major corridors in the Southeast and mid-Atlantic.

The timing of the storm — during Monday night into Tuesday afternoon — will likely cause more travel headaches, particularly during the morning and evening commutes.

Precipitation is expected to end Tuesday night, with improving conditions on Wednesday, Dec. 3, which will be mostly sunny but brisk.
