More than 6 inches of snow could fall in New York City and surrounding areas from Sunday into next Monday, according to weather forecasters.
The snow could begin falling Saturday night, then continue piling up through Sunday and into early Monday morning, National Weather Service meteorologists said.
“The latest…probability for greater than 6 inches of snow ranges from about 50 percent inland to about 70 percent over the NYC metro and coast,” forecasters wrote. “These probabilities have increased over the last several cycles.”
The city could receive up to 10 inches of snow, according to WNYW. However, forecasters cautioned that because the storm is still several days away, the snowfall totals could change.
“The bottom line here is that an impactful winter storm is possible Sunday into Monday,” NWS forecasters wrote. “The storm track, timing and snow amount details will begin coming into focus over the next few days.”
The snow will follow a brutally cold weekend, in which temperatures are expected to remain below 20 degrees from Friday night into Monday morning, with wind chills staying between 0 degrees and 10 degrees.
On Saturday night, the chance of snow is about 50%, and it will rise to 70% throughout Sunday before dropping back to 50% on Monday morning, according to the National Weather Service.
It will be the second straight weekend with snowfall in New York City and surrounding areas. Up to 3 inches of snow fell in the five boroughs last weekend, while about an inch or two more fell in northern New Jersey and Connecticut.
