The leftovers from Sunday’s storm system will be moving across the East on Monday bringing a wide range of weather from late season snow showers in New England to a risk of thunderstorms in the Mid-Atlantic and Carolinas. Stay with FOX Weather for the very latest:
Another round of severe storms is expected to develop across the East later this week, bringing heavy rain, damaging winds, and thunderstorms to much of the region, followed by a frigid cold front that could impact millions.
This unsettled pattern will continue into the weekend, potentially causing travel delays and additional impacts in areas already affected by recent storms.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, the setup will take shape as another potent cold front pushes south. This pattern will be similar to the storms that impacted the region on Sunday and Monday.
Storms will begin late Thursday, as a strengthening dip in the jet stream over eastern Canada drives the cold front through the Great Lakes and into the Ohio Valley. This system will rotate around a large “heat dome” that is currently taking over the western part of the country.

By Friday, the front is forecast to move through the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic, triggering a line of severe storms. But the overall severity depends on how much heat develops throughout the day.
The FOX Forecast Center says the primary threats will be damaging wind gusts and pockets of heavy rain.

Behind the system, much colder air will surge in. A steady northerly wind will pull in the colder air, plummeting temperatures.
Temperatures across the Northeast and Great Lakes will drop into the 30s and 40s on Saturday, while the Mid-Atlantic will fall back into the 50s after experiencing 70-degree days earlier.
