NYC Weather Forecast: Yet Another Nor'easter Takes Aim

NEW YORK, NY – Yet another nor'easter is taking aim at New York City, potentially hitting with snow and rain for the third time in less than two weeks, forecasters say.

The next winter wallop could arrive Sunday night and stretch into Tuesday, according to the National Weather Service.

This far out, meteorologists say it's unclear how significant the storm's impact could be.

"A track straight out to sea would mean no heavy precipitation for much of the Northeast, while a northward track that hugs the coast might mean another nor'easter with strong winds and heavy rain and/or snow," said AccuWeather forecaster Alex Sosnowski.

New York City fared better than its surrounding suburbs in Wednesday's storm, which dumped 3.2 inches of snow on Central Park but which buried areas outside of the city with much more and caused widespread power outages.
