NEW YORK, December 14, SPA — U.S. weather forecasters said a new storm was expected to travel Friday from the Rocky Mountains toward the Plains states, the United Press International (UPI) reported.
The snowstorm is expected to reach toward the mid-Mississippi Valley Friday night before moving on into the northern Ohio River Valley.
Heavy snows were expected Saturday night and Sunday morning in Virginia, Maryland, Pennsylvania, southeastern New York and southern New England.
Warmer temperatures are expected to cause the storm to drop rain on Boston, Providence, New York City, Philadelphia, and Washington.
The storm comes the day after a large winter storm hit the northeastern United States and caused snow-related travel delays in the Boston area, AccuWeather reported. The storm also dropped heavy snow and sleet on the northern suburbs of New York and caused rain in Philadelphia.
The New York Times reported that a portion of Thursday’s storm caused railway and airport delays, traffic accidents and school closings with snow and ice.
The Times said Albany, N.Y., had experienced 4 1/2 inches of snowfall by 4 p.m. Thursday and Bridgeport, Conn., reported 1 1/2 inches.
