NYC Weather: Snow Could Fall After Rainy Weekend Storm

NEW YORK CITY — Get ready for a second round of rainy New York City weather, this time followed by a chance of snow.

A strong storm will blow through the city late Friday into Saturday and threatens to dump 1.5 inches of rain across the boroughs, along with 50 mph wind gusts, officials said.

The city is under multiple National Weather Service alerts: a hazardous weather outlook, a wind advisory and a coastal flood advisory.

"The heaviest rain will be from 10 p.m. to 5 a.m.," a city emergency management weather alert states.

"Minor flooding is likely, resulting in scattered disruptions to transportation and minor flooding of basements, first floors, and some underground infrastructure. Isolated thunderstorms and lightning are also possible overnight."

The strong storm system will largely fade away Saturday, which is expected to be mostly sunny, albeit windy, according to the National Weather Service's forecast.

Snow then enters Sunday's forecast, along with the chance of rain showers.
