Winter Storm Lorraine to Bring Snow, Strong Winds to Northeast, Including New York City and Boston

Winter Storm Lorraine will become a nor'easter as it brings heavy snow and strong winds to the East early this week, including from the Boston to Hartford and New York City metro areas. Travel in the region could be affected much of Tuesday as the storm quickly tracks eastward.

Winter storm alerts are posted for the Northeast: The National Weather Service has hoisted winter storm warnings from southern New England to southeast New York, northern New Jersey and central and northeast Pennsylvania.

Expect a potentially snowy Tuesday morning and/or afternoon commute in the affected areas of the Northeast, depending on the location. Flight delays are also possible at the major Northeast hubs Tuesday.

Here's how much snowfall to expect: The map above shows our current snowfall forecast for the Northeast. Most areas from northeast Pennsylvania to southeast New York and southern New England can expect 5 to 12 inches, with locally higher totals possible. That includes the Boston, Hartford and Providence metros.

New York City should see at least 3 to 5 inches of snow. Totals here are still uncertain and will depend on how quickly rain changes to snow. A quicker changeover to snow could raise totals over 5 inches, while a slower changeover might reduce totals. Regardless, the heaviest totals in the New York City metro will be just north and northwest of the city.
