Discussion
A powerful nor’easter will continue to impact the NYC metro region as it rides up the eastern seaboard. Snow will mix with or change to sleet and/or freezing rain today in the city, and possibly in some of the northern and western suburbs, but that is no guarantee. The precipitation will come down at varying intensities today and a thunderstorm with snow cannot be ruled out at the end of the day. As the low pressure center pulls by to our east late today, colder air will wrap around it and any mixed precipitation in the area will change back to all-snow as we enter the “cold conveyor belt” phase of the storm on its northwest flank. Snow will continue through much of tonight before winding down creating some difficult driving conditions as we approach the Friday morning rush hour. Total snowfall accumulations will end up in the 10-14 inch range in the city and 14-20 inches in some of the N and W suburbs by later tonight. More accumulating snow is possible on Saturday.
