NYC Weather Forecast: Storm Could Bring Up To 6 Inches Of Snow

NEW YORK, NY – The latest nor'easter could dump as much as six inches of snow on New York City, forecasters warned Monday.

The National Weather Service is expecting the storm to arrive late Tuesday and continue through Wednesday. It's the fourth nor'easter to hit the region in two weeks.

Though the bulk of the snow is expected to fall on Long Island, the forecasters said the city could still be hit hard. Though as of Monday between one and three inches is predicted, that accumulation could increase.

"Depending on the eventual track of the storm, some areas may receive significant snowfall of 6 inches or more," the NWS said.

"This would be more likely to occur across central and eastern Long Island, but also cannot be ruled out elsewhere, mainly in the New York City Tri-State area and across coastal Connecticut."
