An Alberta Clipper will bring a fresh wave of snow from the Midwest to the Northeast during the latter part of this week.
The storm, emerging from southern Canada, will first dive down into the Upper Midwest.
Snow on Wednesday night will spread from Wisconsin and the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, reaching far northwestern Ohio by daybreak on Thursday morning.

On the south side of the snow, a light wintry mix is expected from northern Illinois into northern Indiana and the southwestern part of the lower Michigan Peninsula.
As the system sweeps even farther east, snow will likely reach the majority of the Northeast.

According to AccuWeather.com Senior Meteorologists Alex Sosnowski, "For the coastal mid-Atlantic, the system will generally bring snow showers and a spotty coating of snow."
Up to a few inches of snow will fall on part of the central Appalachians, near the eastern Great Lakes and southern New England with the bulk of the snow occurring in New England on Friday.

"As the storm strengthens and pivots along the coast of northern New England, a period of wind-driven snow can occur in portions of New Hampshire, Maine and New Brunswick on Friday into Friday night," Sosnowski said.

A moderate to heavy amount of snow can fall from portions of northern Maine to southern Quebec.
Even light accumulations, however, could cause travel delays for airports in the United States, for Detroit; Pittsburgh, Boston and New York City.

This snow could slow the cleanup for those in coastal New England who must dig out from feet of snow.
This likely will not be the last storm to bring snow into the Northeast in the near future. Early indications are that the storm developing at the end of this week in the Southwest will track over Midwest this weekend and to the Atlantic Seaboard by the start of next week.
