NYC Snow Forecast: A Week of Chilly Temperatures and Potential Snow

Get ready, New York City! January 2025 is bringing a prolonged cold snap, with temperatures hovering around freezing for at least the next week and a half. This means a chance of accumulating snow, but don't expect a blizzard just yet.

Snow Chances:

• Friday: Light snow showers are possible late afternoon and into the evening, mainly for Central and South Jersey. Ocean County could see 1-3 inches, with possible flakes reaching as far north as Essex County.

• Monday: A more significant snow system is possible, potentially bringing an inch or two to NYC and 3-5 inches to parts of the Jersey Shore (especially further south). Snow accumulations will depend on the storm's track, which may shift.

While neither storm is expected to be a major event, enough snow could stick around due to the freezing temperatures.

Looking Ahead:

For those hoping for a major winter storm, you'll have to wait. While the cold temperatures are expected to persist, a larger storm is needed to bring significant snowfall to Central Park. <img src="https://media.nbcnewyork.com/2025/01/1-2-biggest-central-park-snowfalls.png?fit=1200%2C675&quality=85&strip=all" alt="Biggest Central Park snowfalls">
