Northeast Storm Eases as NYC Snow Outlook Is Lowered and Travel Hazards Persist

A northeast shift of mixed precipitation led forecasters to lower expected snow near New York City.

Overview

  • The National Weather Service kept a winter storm warning for the Tri-State area in effect through 1 p.m. ET Saturday.
  • Measured snowfall included just under 3 inches in New York City, 2 to 6 inches across much of Long Island, and localized totals near 10 inches in parts of the region.
  • The NWS reported a light glaze of ice with lingering light snow and wintry mix reducing visibility and making roads slick Saturday morning.
  • Officials cautioned that difficult travel could continue as temperatures near or below freezing may cause refreezing Saturday night.
  • Forecasters expect a separate system late Sunday into Monday to bring mostly rain to the East and additional mountain snow in the interior West.
