NYC Braces for Six to Ten Inches
of Snow
PUBLISHED Mar. 03, 2019
After a winter that's been mostly snow-free, the city is gearing up for another round of snow on Sunday.
Those four inches of snow that came Saturday morning will be followed by another forecasted six to ten inches Sunday night, marking the fourth snow alert issued by the city in as many days.
A winter storm warning is currently in effect until 7 a.m. Monday, according to the National Weather Service, and New Yorkers should expect to see a sloppy commute to work on Monday morning.
Where Is the Snow Going to be Heaviest?
The most snow is expected to fall in the northern parts of Queens, upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Long Island may get up to 6 inches of snow as well, while parts of northern New Jersey may see as many as 7-8 inches.
When Is the Storm Going to Start?
Most areas will see snow develop during the early-evening hours, however, the precipitation could start-off as sleet or rain in some locations. Highs will top-out at 42 degrees, and winds will be out of the southeast at 5 to 15 MPH.
The wintry weather is expected to stay in place for tonight, and areas of fog are possible as well. The precipitation is expected to change to all snow in most areas. Lows will be around 32 degrees.
How Is the City Preparing for the Storm?
Ahead of tonight's storm, salt spreaders and plows from the Department of Sanitation are pre-treating some areas of the city with salt.
Mayor de Blasio has also announced New York City Public Schools will be closed Monday because of the storm.
