Behind the storm, an Arctic blast will move across the country, dropping our temperatures and creating blustery conditions.
Buffalo and western New York could face dangerous blizzard-like conditions this weekend as bitterly cold air is expected to clash with intense lake-effect snow that could amount to 1-3 feet.
While no snow is forecast here this weekend, the deep penetrating cold blast will likely help to set up a storm track that favors snow early next week in the Tri-State area.
A coastal low is expected to develop along the southeastern coast late Monday and track northeast.
With cold air remaining in place, snow looks possible across much of the region but a lot is still uncertain about the track.
