New York, NY – The first week of February will bring a mix of sunshine, mild temperatures, and midweek winter weather as rain and snow move into the region Wednesday, potentially affecting commutes and travel conditions.
According to the National Weather Service, Sunday will be mostly cloudy with a high of 40°F. Winds will be light, and conditions will remain dry throughout the day. Monday brings a brief warm-up, reaching 49°F under partly sunny skies, offering a pleasant start to the workweek.
Tuesday will be slightly cooler, with highs near 43°F and increasing clouds ahead of an approaching storm system. By Tuesday night, temperatures drop into the mid-30s as precipitation begins moving into the area.
Rain-Snow Mix Midweek
The main weather event arrives Wednesday when a developing storm system brings a 40% chance of a rain-snow mix. With daytime highs around 41°F, areas north and west of the city could see some wet snow accumulation, while rain will likely dominate closer to the coast.
Wednesday night into Thursday, the storm continues, with rain likely and temperatures hovering in the upper 30s. A second system could bring additional showers Thursday night into Friday.
Travel and Safety Impacts
Commuters should be prepared for slick roads Wednesday morning and evening, particularly in areas where temperatures drop closer to freezing. Bridges and overpasses could become icy, creating hazardous driving conditions.
New Yorkers should monitor forecasts closely and allow extra time for travel. If conditions worsen, delays could impact public transportation and flights at area airports.
Stay tuned for updated forecasts as the system develops, and be prepared for a wintry midweek commute.
