Significant Northeast Snow Threat to Occur Monday

The next storm that has a chance of bringing accumulating snow to a large part of the Northeast will arrive on Monday, Jan. 27, 2014.
The train of Alberta Clipper storms that began a couple of weeks ago will continue into next week. The storms originate from the western provinces of Canada, where they get their name.
The pattern will have yielded close to a dozen systems by this weekend. The clipper storms have been of various strength and have taken a variety of paths.

Prior to the potential for accumulating snow over a broad area on Monday, a few locations from the central Appalachians to New England may receive a dose of snow on Saturday. The snowiest spots would be from West Virginia to western Pennsylvania, but one or two brief periods of snow can reach the I-95 corridor in Pennsylvania, New Jersey, New York and New England.
After the large and strong clipper storm blasts the Great Lakes with wind, snow and whiteouts Friday night into Saturday night, the next clipper storm will take a path farther south.

It is possible the track of the storm and its snow may shift to the north or to the south as more information becomes available.
The clipper scheduled to take a track across the Ohio Valley Sunday night will reach the mid-Atlantic coast on Monday. The snowfall output from the storm could be similar to the storm from this past Tuesday.
The exact track and strength of the Monday storm will determine how much snow falls and where the cut off of band of snow exists to the north and south.

However, at this early stage, the indications are there is at least a chance of accumulating snow and slippery travel bounded by North Carolina to the south and Pennsylvania, New York state and southeastern New England to the north.
Yet another clipper storm may take a similar path a day or two prior to the big game at East Rutherford, N.J.
Details on the track and intensity of the snow and the extent of disruptions to travel and other daily activities will become available this weekend on AccuWeather.com.
