NYC Weather: Inch Of Snow To Hit After Blustery Start To Week
Flakes are expected to fall amid a streak of windy days.
NEW YORK — February might be nearly over, but winter sure isn't. An inch of snow is expected to strike New York City midweek amid a streak of windy days.
Snowfall could start as early as about 1 p.m. Wednesday and continue into early Thursday morning, according to the National Weather Service. The bulk of the flakes could come between about 7 p.m. Wednesday and 1 a.m. Thursday, when half an inch is expected to hit Central Park, the forecast shows.
The flakes will arrive on a chilly, mostly cloudy Wednesday with a high near 29 degrees and early-morning wind chills in the teens, the weather service says.
