Northeast Turns Milder After Blizzard With Light Snow Sunday and Early‑Week Uncertainty

Forecasters expect a brief thaw through Saturday to melt snowbanks by day, raising black‑ice risk overnight.

Overview

  • Midweek clipper delivered only a coating to 1–3 inches with isolated squalls, and conditions improved by Wednesday afternoon into a dry, sunnier Thursday.
  • Temperatures rise to near or above freezing through Saturday, accelerating snowmelt that can pond and then refreeze into slick spots after dark.
  • Saturday looks warmest, reaching the mid to upper 40s in many areas, providing a window for cleanup and snowbank reduction.
  • A quick, light snow is possible Sunday—generally a coating to around 2 inches—followed by a sharp turn to arctic cold Monday with single‑digit wind chills in spots.
  • Model guidance signals another system around Tuesday into Wednesday, but track and precipitation type remain low‑confidence with outcomes ranging from snow to a wintry mix or rain.
