Only days following the record-setting Winter Storm Hernando, also known as Blizzard ’26, slamming millions of Americans in the Northeast, the area is now getting prepared for more snowfall. Later this week, more rounds of snow are forecast to shift into the area, which will increase the historic accumulations.
Key cities were hammered with extreme snow amounts Sunday, with New York City receiving around 20 inches, Boston getting near 17 inches and Providence, Rhode Island shattering records at approximately 38 inches.
It’s now being warned by forecasters from the National Weather Service (NWS) that one, potentially two, more rounds of snowfall are expected into the middle and end of the workweek. (RELATED: Blizzard ’26: High-Profile Cities In Northeast Get 2 Feet Of Snow During Historic Nor’easter Bomb Cyclone)
Tuesday afternoon will see the development of the first round of snow, taking shape as a clipper system that will move from southern Canada through the Great Lakes before heading to the Northeast.
Experiencing the snowfall initially will be areas in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan, but with the clipper being driven by speed, snow will only take place in a timeframe of hours.
The system will relocate to the Northeast by Wednesday morning, causing impacts in New York, Pennsylvania and New England.

Snow accumulations aren’t anticipated to be as major as Blizzard’ 26, however, amounts throughout the region will increase seasonal totals, according to the FOX Forecast Center.
1-3 inches of snow could be seen in northern New England, while 3-5 inches could fall in northern Michigan.
According to the most recent forecast model data, the second stage of snowfall is appearing to have lesser impacts.
By the afternoon hours Thursday, a low-pressure area is anticipated to pivot eastward from the Central Plains. (RELATED: Winter Storm Hernando: Providence, Rhode Island Breaks 48-Year Mark After Setting All-Time Record For Snow)
It’s being suggested by forecast models (American GFS|European ECMWF|Google DeepMind AI) that the system will track more south.
As a result, lighter snow and rain will be entrenched in areas of the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic.
Ahead of the next rounds of snowfall, several cities already have their tally far above average in terms of seasonal snow.
For example, Boston is currently around 10 inches above their average after the record-breaking Winter Storm Hernando.
