New York City residents are facing a repeat of last week's winter storm conditions as a new storm system is set to bring snow, sleet, and freezing rain to the area this weekend. The storm will arrive on Saturday night and continue into Sunday, potentially creating hazardous travel conditions. Forecasters warn of uncertainty surrounding the storm's track and timing, which will determine the heaviest snowfall areas. Adding to the winter woes, the Tri-State area is facing additional chances of snow next week, particularly on Wednesday and Thursday.
Just as one storm packing snow and ice exits the New York City area, another is on the way to parts of New York , New Jersey , and Connecticut this weekend – and next week. Thursday's winter storm brought a mixed bag of freezing rain, snow, sleet, and ice to the New York City area, creating hazardous conditions for drivers and pedestrians alike.
Meanwhile, similar conditions are expected this weekend, where another round of snow, sleet, and freezing rain could make for slippery and slick conditions in the Big Apple. The storm will reach the Northeast on Saturday night: 'More snow and ice will come through late Saturday into Sunday,' FOX 5 NY's Mike Woods said. 'As the storm continues east, an icy wintry mix is anticipated across the northern Mid-Atlantic states Saturday night,' the NOAA NWS Weather Prediction Center said in a post on Facebook. 'Uncertainty remains with the storm track and timing, which will play a critical role in where the heaviest snowfall occurs,' the NOAA NWS Weather Prediction Center said in a post on Facebook. But don't get too comfortable – next week has many more chances for snow in New York City. An active storm track is forecast over the East, where currently, there's a slight risk of heavy snow forecast for the Tri-State area on Wednesday and Thursday. However, uncertainty in the track and precipitation type for each system still remains. 'Snow down the road on Tuesday, Wednesday, it looks like that one's promising a little more snow,' Woods said.
