Major US cities, from Washington DC in the north right up into Maine in the west, are bracing for a heavy snowfall of up to 4 inches over this weekend.
The northeastern cities, which have been experiencing a serious snow deficit for years, are also likely to get light snow this weekend as the weather system moves towards the southeast.
According to the New York Post (NYP), citing FOX Forecast Center, these areas are likely to receive 2-4 inches of snow, with a possibility of higher amounts locally.

According to the New York Post (NYP), citing FOX Forecast Center, these areas are likely to receive 2-4 inches of snow, with a possibility of higher amounts locally.
Most of the snowfall is expected in areas located west of Interstate 95 (I-95), a major American highway, which runs along the US East Coast through cities like Washington, New York and Boston.
As the day goes on, temperatures are expected to rise to the mid-to-upper 30s on the Fahrenheit scale — roughly 2°C to 4°C. At these temperatures, snow does not last long and often turns into rain.
Therefore, in coastal and eastern regions, snow is likely to change into rain, and if any snow falls, it is unlikely to settle or remain for long, especially later in the day.
