Severe weather is expected to continue to move over the northeastern U.S. this week, as heavy snow from a winter storm spreads into New England.
The National Weather Service's Weather Prediction Center said Wednesday that the system is forecast to track through the eastern Great Lakes overnight, with snow changing into a wintry mix by early Thursday.
Strong winds of up to 50 mph are possible over some locations in southern New England and the Gulf of Maine, with travel conditions predicted to be affected.
This comes after the storm produced heavy snow from the middle Mississippi Valley and Great Lakes to the Northeast on Wednesday.
