NYC Snow Alert! Will the First Day of Winter Bring a White Christmas?
NYC Snow Alert! Will the First Day of Winter Bring a White Christmas?
Will New York City see snow on the first day of winter? A weather system moving in could bring frozen precipitation to the Big Apple just before Christmas.
Snowfall Forecast: Timing, Impacts, and Predictions
The remnants of a Canadian weather system and a coastal low off the East Coast could combine to produce measurable snowfall. FOX Weather meteorologists predict up to three inches of snow in the I-95 corridor, though NYC might see less.
The timing is crucial: Snow is most likely to fall Friday afternoon into overnight hours, with any accumulation happening overnight when temperatures are coldest. FOX 5 NY's Mike Woods notes a potential quick burst of light to moderate snow Saturday morning.
How Much Snow for NYC?
While cities like Boston and Providence might see 1-3 inches, NYC's snowfall depends on moisture, the low's position, and cold air. An inch or two is possible, with a coating expected in NYC, Long Island, and central New Jersey, more accumulating further north. We're on the line of a rain/snow mix.
What's Next?
After the snow, temperatures will plummet to the teens and single digits early next week before rebounding for Christmas.
Winter Outlook
FOX 5 NY's Nick Gregory predicts around 20 inches of snow this winter for NYC, less than the typical 28 inches. The lower Hudson Valley could see 20-25 inches. Much of the winter might be a mix of rain and snow along the coast, with heavier snow further north.
