Storm To Rain Out Presidents Day Weekend In NYC: See Timeline

NEW YORK CITY — Friday is going to be the calm before the storm, as the final of three winter storms is expected to hit over the long weekend in New York City, forecasters said.

According to the National Weather Service, snow and rain will coat the city mid-day on Saturday and then turn into all rain on Sunday, with a high rising to around 51 degrees.

The storm is expected to clear out by Monday morning, and the temperature is predicted to drop back down to more seasonally appropriate temperatures in the low 30s, forecasters said.

It's still too early to make predictions, but after Monday, the weather is expected to remain clear, meteorologists from AccuWeather said.

"After the storm next week, it's mostly cold but has a drier pattern for most in the eastern half of the country, with the exception of the downwind of Lake Ontario/Huron with the lake-effect," AccuWeather Senior Meteorologist Brett Anderson said.
