New York weather is waking up to light snow and mist, with temperatures hovering near 30 degrees and visibility reduced around Central Park. Side streets and untreated overpasses could turn slick before sunrise, especially where pavement temperatures linger near freezing.
The National Weather Service reports northeast winds near 10 mph and humidity above 90 percent early this morning. A 30 percent chance of lingering snow showers continues through daybreak, with minor accumulations possible on colder surfaces. While totals remain light, even a dusting can create icy patches on bridges along the FDR Drive and sections of the Cross Bronx Expressway.
Skies gradually brighten later today, and highs push toward 40 degrees. Melting should improve road conditions by midday. Tonight stays cold, with temperatures slipping back into the upper 30s under increasing clouds.
Midweek brings the next shift. Rain becomes likely by Wednesday, February 18, with highs climbing into the low 40s. Periods of steady rain could impact the evening commute, though widespread flooding is not expected at this time. Any early mix north and west of the city should transition to plain rain as temperatures rise above freezing.
Looking ahead into President’s Day Week, a broader warming trend builds across the Northeast. Highs trend into the mid to upper 40s by late week and could approach 50 degrees early next week. The February chill loosens its grip, setting the stage for milder days and hints of early spring vibes across New York City. Stay alert for updated Weather Alerts as midweek rain approaches.
