NYC Weekend Freeze Alert: Snow Possible Before Christmas!
The Northeast is bracing for a potential blast of winter weather this weekend, just days before Christmas. A weather system moving in from Canada, known as an Alberta Clipper, combined with a coastal low, could bring a wintry mix to the I-95 corridor.
Potential for Snow and Slippery Travel
Cities from New York to Boston could see frozen precipitation, primarily from Friday night into Saturday morning. While the best chances for accumulating snow are in areas like Boston, Providence (RI), and Bridgeport (CT) – potentially seeing 1-3 inches – New York City isn't entirely ruled out. The possibility of snowfall in NYC depends on a combination of moisture levels, the storm's track, and cold air temperatures.
FOX Weather Meteorologist Michael Estime explains that an "East Coast energy transfer" could bring precipitation to the region. The potential for significant snowfall depends on several key factors.

Following any snowfall, temperatures are expected to plummet to the teens and single digits across the Northeast early next week, before a rebound for Christmas.
