NEW YORK (WABC) — A fast-moving clipper system is slowing just enough to pull in Atlantic moisture and bring some snow to New York City and the Tri-State area.
Accumulation will be widespread along the Interstate 95 corridor from Philadelphia to Boston, marking the first general snowfall of the season.
The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for New York City, Long Island, and parts of New Jersey for Saturday night into Sunday.
Saturday will begin dry during the daylight hours with increasing clouds.
Snow is expected to develop late Saturday night, around 10-11 p.m., and continue into early Sunday morning.
Accumulations will average 1-3 inches across the Tri-State area, with lighter amounts north and west of I-287 and heavier totals – up to 3 inches or more – south and east of New York City, including Suffolk, Ocean, and Monmouth counties.
Though totals will be modest, expect slippery roads and possible airport disruptions due to de-icing operations.
The New York City Department of Sanitation (DSNY) has issued a Snow Alert for Saturday beginning at 7 p.m., running through 2 p.m. Sunday. A Snow Alert is the Department’s “higher level” snow-fighting notification, as opposed to the “lower level” Winter Operations Advisory.
It’s the DSNY’s first snow alert of the season. Crews were to begin highway brining operations on Friday night, applying brine before snow begins falling helps reduce accumulations on roadways.
All winter weather information and information about the City’s response to the storm can be found by visiting the City’s Severe Weather website at nyc.gov/snow or by calling 311.
Conditions will clear by Sunday afternoon, though temperatures will remain below freezing.
High pressure returns Monday, bringing bright but frigid weather with highs in the upper 20s to low 30s. A gradual warm-up is expected midweek, with temperatures reaching near 50 by Thursday.
