NYC Weather: Snow, Sleet, Freezing Rain Will Hit City In Winter Blast

NEW YORK CITY — Snow finally returned to New York City — and it looks like it'll be sticking around.

The city's 700-day snow drought ended overnight into Tuesday as 1.4 inches were recorded in Central Park, weather records show.

And the snow isn't over.

Up to 2 inches of snow could fall Tuesday, along with other, nastier precipitation, according to the National Weather Service's forecast.

"Snow before 10am, then snow, freezing rain, and sleet," the forecast states.

The wintry blast Tuesday won't just be a combination of snow, sleet and freezing rain.

Highs will only reach 31 degrees, with wind chills between 20 and 25 degrees, according to the forecast.

The city is under a winter weather advisory until Tuesday at 7 p.m., along with a hazardous weather outlook.

The bone-chilling weather will continue through the week and into Friday, when another winter storm threatens to bring more snow into the city, according to AccuWeather.

"Behind that late-week storm, Arctic air may more forcefully push into the Eastern states this weekend, compared to this past weekend," said Matt Benz, a senior meteorologist for AccuWeather, in a report by the service.
