A Nor’easter is drifting into the New York metropolitan area at about 6 a.m. on Tuesday, timing right for the morning rush. The storm is expected to bring a wintry mix to the city—light snowflakes and steady rain—while the surrounding suburbs rumble in up to four inches of snow, according to local weather forecasters.
In the heart of New York City, the snow is unlikely to pile up. By mid‑morning the precipitation will shift to rain, and a light flurry is expected to melt quickly or wash away, leaving traffic flooded but no snow‑covered streets. The New York Post’s meteorologist, Cody Braud, said, “NYC is likely to get a continuous 12‑16 hours of rain and or snow. Both the morning and evening commutes will face impacts.”
Temperatures across the city will hover in the mid‑30s to low‑40s during the day, too warm to support much accumulation. People can expect at most half an inch of lasting snow, with no more than two inches of rain draining into the evening commute. The wet conditions are set to linger through the night, but the storm should clear by Wednesday morning.
The grab‑off organizers sleeping in the Midwest last weekend as a separate storm hammered the region, wiping out flights and piling up cars on the interstates. Now the night‑time economy faces rougher roads and sleety skies.
Meanwhile, the rest of the Northeast isn’t immune to snow. Northern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley, and Connecticut could see up to three inches, while the stretch from Albany to Bangor, Maine, may receive anywhere from three to eight inches. Coastal New Jersey will likely see between one and three inches, and Long Island remains a rain‑only zone, with up to two inches in total precipitation.
Braud added that the forecast suggests the storm’s main action will arrive in the Northeast late Monday night, but it will be a Tuesday event overall. “…The rain and snow will last for the entire day before clearing out early Wednesday morning,” he told the Post. “We are not expecting any significant snow accumulations for NYC. Any snow that falls will melt quickly or wash away.”
