Latest Storm Forecast For NYC: Chances For Snow, Rain Through Weekend

NEW YORK CITY — It's going to be a cold and blustery weekend in New York City, as a wintery mix of rain and snow is headed to the area, forecasters say.

According to the latest forecast from the National Weather Service, there is a 30 percent chance of snow showers overnight on Thursday, which will taper off on Friday.

Then, from Saturday to Sunday morning, there is a 50 percent chance of rain, which will turn into snow overnight and into Sunday morning, forecasters from the National Weather Service said.

"Expect light snowfall of a few tenths of an inch, with a small possibility of under an inch," NYC's Emergency Management said on X (formerly Twitter) on Thursday. "Untreated roads, sidewalks, and bike paths could become icy, so please exercise caution when walking, biking, or driving."

The city's Department of Social Services has also issued aCode Blue Weather Alert, which will send outreach teams to get unsheltered homeless people into emergency havens overnight, the department said.

A Code Blue is issued when the temperature or wind chill is forecast to drop to 32 degrees between 4 p.m. and 8 a.m.

Snowfall will be followed by cold conditions through the end of the week with daily wind chills below freezing, according to the latest forecast.

"Even if it develops, the system will be rather weak and progressive, so snowfall totals and resulting impacts appear minor," National Weather Service forecasters said.

AccuWeather forecasters said there could be enough snow and ice to make for slippery travel Sunday.
