Here is the high-end prediction:

The swath of disruptive snow and ice will stretch from the mid-Mississippi Valley through the Northeast during the first part of this week, according to AccuWeather.

The Monday morning commute from Indianapolis to Pittsburgh to Baltimore and Philadelphia and New Jersey will feature some slick spots and commuters may have to allow for some extra time, according to AccuWeather.

By Monday afternoon, some light snow and sleet will arrive from central New Jersey into the Tri-State area around New York City, according to AccuWeather. It is unlikely to cause too much disruption, since the combination of light precipitation and temperatures around or just above freezing will prevent much accumulation on roads.

The second system will be stronger, developing Monday and strengthening as it moves into the mid-Atlantic and Northeast on Monday night and Tuesday, according to AccuWeather.

Portions of the Northeast that will largely miss out on any snow from the first disturbance will get several inches of snow from the second, stronger storm, according to AccuWeather.
