A coastal storm could bring accumulating snow to areas north and west of New York City, with the National Weather Service predicting several inches in parts of the Hudson Valley, northern New Jersey, and Connecticut before transitioning to rain. Commuters are advised to prepare for slippery conditions.
Snow could be coming to the tri-state just as December begins, and the National Weather Service now says some areas north and west of New York City could see higher totals than earlier expected.The latest NWS briefing, issued early Monday, shows a stronger signal for accumulating snow inland as a coastal storm moves in Tuesday.
NYC and the immediate coast may see little to no snow, but parts of the Hudson Valley, northern New Jersey and Connecticut are in line for several inches before the changeover to rain.The National Weather Service says snow will begin early Tuesday across the interior, with a transition to rain from south to north during the morning. According to NWS, snowfall projections have increased for some counties:A map from the latest NWS briefing highlighted a corridor from northern New Jersey through the Hudson Valley and into interior Connecticut with the greatest potential for several inches of snow before the changeover.By Tuesday afternoon, most lower-elevation areas will see plain rain before precipitation tapers off as a light rain/snow mix.The city activated parts of its flash-flood response plan Sunday in advance of the incoming storm, preparing for drainage issues, wet roads and reduced visibility as rain becomes the dominant precipitation type.The NWS predicted the most likely shift from snow to a wintry mix and then rain:Forecasters still note uncertainty in the exact track of the low-pressure system. A shift south and east could keep colder air in place longer — bringing higher totals farther south into coastal CT and possibly closer to NYC. A warmer track would sharply reduce totals along I-95.The National Weather Service will issue another briefing by 5 p.m. Monday, and officials urge commuters to prepare for slippery early-morning conditions north and west of the city.
