Could the tri-state be in for another winter storm this coming weekend?

News 12’s meteorologists are monitoring early indications that another system could take shape. The forecast remains highly fluid this far out, however.

A large-scale cold pattern continues to dominate much of the eastern United States following the high-impact winter weather on Sunday and Monday, and that background setup can sometimes support additional storm development along the East Coast.

Some long-range scenarios loosely resemble a Miller Type A system – a classic coastal storm that forms in the southern U.S. and tracks northward, occasionally bringing widespread precipitation if conditions align.

“It’s been over 10 years since we’ve seen back-to-back storms, so this week is going to be very important,” News 12 meteorologists Michelle Powers said. “Staying with News 12 will be key as we continue to learn more about this weekend’s potential and fine-tune the forecast.”

At this distance, even small shifts in the jet stream could dramatically change the outcome — ranging from snow or mixed precipitation to a weaker system or even a complete miss. For now, this remains a feature to watch rather than a forecast, with more meaningful details expected to emerge later in the week as models gain better resolution.
