Just days after a historic blizzard buried millions across the Northeast, the region is bracing for more winter weather. Additional rounds of snow are expected to move in later this week, adding to the already record-breaking totals.
On Sunday, major hubs were slammed with excessive snowfall. Cities such as New York City recorded about 20 inches, while Providence, RI experienced almost 38 inches and Boston saw close to 17 inches.
Forecasters are now warning that another round, possibly two, of snow is likely through the middle and latter part of the week.

The first round will develop on Tuesday afternoon as a clipper system from Southern Canada moves into the Great Lakes and Northeast.
Areas located in Michigan’s Upper Peninsula will experience the snow first. But due to the system’s fast-moving nature, snowfall will only last for a few hours.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, accumulations are not expected to be as significant as Sunday’s historic storm, but they will still add to seasonal totals across the region.
Northern New England could see 1 to 3 inches of snow, while northern Michigan may receive 3 to 5 inches.

The second round is looking less impactful with the latest forecast model data coming in.

According to the FOX Forecast Center, forecast models 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.
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.
