NYC Weekend Snow Alert: Blizzard Possible?

This weekend, NYC might see a significant snowfall. A snowstorm brewing in the south is predicted to move up the coast, potentially impacting the city Friday night and Saturday.

AccuWeather's Forecast:

The extent of the storm's impact depends on its intensity and track. Currently, there's a 50% chance of snow Friday evening and another 50% chance Saturday morning. However, there's a smaller, but still notable, 15% chance of a much more intense storm tracking northeast, potentially bringing blizzard conditions and strong coastal winds. Even in a less intense scenario, NYC can expect at least an inch of snow and slick roads.

National Weather Service Forecast:

Temperature and Wind Chill:

Before the snow, expect extremely cold temperatures with wind chills below zero on Wednesday and Thursday. Temperatures will rise slightly into the mid-30s by the weekend but with lighter winds.

The Bottom Line:

While a major blizzard is less likely, New Yorkers should be prepared for at least some snowfall and slippery conditions this weekend. Stay tuned for updates from AccuWeather and the National Weather Service.
