Just off the heels of a monster nor'easter, another coastal storm could bring snow, rain and strong winds to the New Jersey-New York region this week.

UPDATE: Snow totals increase in latest forecast with up to 12 inches possible

Old Man Winter isn't finished with us yet. Weather forecasters say there's a good chance that another coastal storm will develop near New Jersey this week, potentially bringing another mix of snow and rain along with the threat of additional power outages.

Although the storm is not expected to be as strong as the monster nor'easter that ravaged New Jersey and other states along the East Coast on Friday, it could deliver as much as a half-foot of snow to central and northern counties in the state, forecasters said on Sunday.

This is how much snow the National Weather Service is forecasting for most of New Jersey from 7 p.m. Tuesday through 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Storm track uncertain

In a hazardous weather statement issued Sunday night, the National Weather Service's regional forecast office in Mount Holly said there is still some uncertainty regarding the track of the storm and whether temperatures will be cold enough to support snow over rain. However, "odds are favoring mostly snow for this system," the statement said.

If the storm does develop, it would push snow or rain across New Jersey from Tuesday night through most of the day on Wednesday.

“Six-inch amounts (of snow) are possible in some places, especially the elevations near and north of I-78 across northern New Jersey and east central and northeast Pennsylvania,” the weather service said. “If six-inch amounts occur, the risk for further power outages increases due to the weight of the snow on the branches and wires, and also possibly causing tree uproots, due to the already wet ground.”

This is how much snow the National Weather Service is forecasting in northeastern New Jersey, New York City and Long Island from 1 a.m. Wednesday through 7 p.m. Wednesday.

Threat of more power outages

Although the mid-week storm will likely produce some gusty winds, they are not expected to be as strong as the intense tropical storm-force winds that were generated by Friday’s coastal storm, several forecasters said.

Forecasters from AccuWeather said this week's storm is likely to result in additional power outages, flight delays and sloppy commutes for drivers.

Increasing confidence on a developing nor'easter Tuesday night and Wednesday. Snow appears most likely from the city N&W, with rain or mix changing to snow farther east. Strong winds may become an issue again, but not as bad as what we just had! #abc7ny pic.twitter.com/0RqAXCBbdf — Jeff Smith (@JeffSmithABC7) March 4, 2018

N.J. still reeling from last week's storm

If the new coastal storm develops, it would be bad news for more than 100,000 New Jersey utility customers who have been without power since Friday's devastating storm struck the region.

Utility officials say many of those customers may not have their power restored until Tuesday or Wednesday. Just in time for the new coastal storm.

2 storm scenarios

AccuWeather forecasters say snow is not a lock with the upcoming coastal storm.

"One scenario is for the storm to hug the coast close enough for most of the Interstate 95 corridor to experience plain rain or a mixture of rain and snow, with the worst of the snowstorm occurring farther inland," AccuWeather said in a storm report on Sunday. "If the storm tracks farther offshore, more snow than rain can unfold along the I-95 corridor with mounting disruptions to travel and daily routines."
