While some east coasters are still reeling from the second nor’easter storm that dumped over two feet of snowfall in various states, meteorologists warn a third storm could hit as early as Sunday.
The snow storm will be the third wintry blast to pound the East Coast in 10 days.
The coast saw winter storms Riley and Quinn blanket several cities in up to 26 inches of snow and suffer violent thundersnow downpours that left hundreds of thousands without power.
The Global Forecast System predicts the storm will cross into the East Coast late Sunday into Tuesday, bringing with it between one to 12 inches of snow.
The snow will cross Virginia before blasting its way to DC, then into New York on Monday, according to Weather.com
On Tuesday, New England temperatures will dip low enough to see major snowfall.
However other forecasting systems, such as the Euro ENS and Euro versions, predict that third nor’easter may not hit so close the coast.
Forecasters warn that the storm is subject to change in accordance with the winds.
The snowfall is expected to hit the cities of New York, Syracuse, Burlington, and Boston. Portland is predicted to be hit with a whopping 12 feet of snow.
Monday will see temperatures in the mid 30s into the early 40s. Tuesday morning is when most of the blizzard snow is expected to fall.
