Two storms with snow will take a swipe at parts of the northeastern United States this weekend, despite temperatures being significantly higher than recent weeks.

The first will be a sneaky storm forecast to move southeastward across the region from Ontario from Friday night to Saturday. This clipper-style storm will be associated with a push of cold air.

Clipper storms that move in this manner tend to produce blotchy areas of steady snow rather than an even stripe. AccuWeather meteorologists have outlined a zone where up to a couple of inches or so of snow may fall during the first part of the weekend.

This potential for up to a couple of inches of snow will extend from around Lake Ontario in upstate New York to parts of Vermont, western Massachusetts, the Hudson Valley of New York and the northeastern corner of Pennsylvania. Motorists in this zone are likely to have to deal with slippery travel. Airline passengers may have delays at the secondary hubs due to deicing operations.
