Don’t put away your winter coats just yet.
A complex winter storm system is threatening to dump up to two feet of snow on the east coast, which is still struggling to recover from the weekend’s nor’easter three days later.
And while the midweek storm won’t become as powerful as the recent winter storm Riley, which left up to 2million homes and businesses without power at its peak, some parts of the northeast might face power outages and travel disruptions.
Winter storm Quinn started brewing in the western mountains and northern Plains, and will fizzle there, over the eastern Great Lakes and in the central Appalachians through Tuesday and overnight.
But it is expected to then strengthen once it hits the east coast early Wednesday and into Thursday.
‘For most people in the Northeast, especially in New England and the coastal mid-Atlantic, this will be a more typical winter storm or nor’easter’ AccuWeather meteorologist Alex Sosnowski predicted Monday.
Heavy snow is expected to start falling Wednesday – and could dump up to eight inches on New York City with areas outside the city getting up to a foot, though higher amounts are possible.
Parts of western and northern New England could be hit with between one and two feet of snow.
The heaviest precipitation is expected through Wednesday afternoon and into the evening, according to NBC Storm Team 4.
Quinn has already prompted winter storm warnings across much of the tri-state area.
It started brewing last week, and brought heavy snow to the Mountain West, pounding the northern Plains and Upper Midwest on Monday.
