New York City and the Northeast will likely see a dollop of snow late Monday into Tuesday from a storm rising up from the US Gulf coast, even as a record-breaking system pulls away from Chicago and the Midwest.

New York may get as much as 3 inches (8 centimeters) of snow to start its workday Tuesday from a system moving up the East Coast. Heavier snow totals are possible across the eastern part of the state and interior New England, said Andrew Orrison, a forecaster at the US Weather Prediction Center.
