New York, NY – New Yorkers should prepare for a mix of snow, sleet, and rain overnight into Thursday, leading to slippery roads and reduced visibility. The National Weather Service warns of accumulating snowfall, with 1 to 3 inches possible by early morning. By sunrise, warmer temperatures will transition the system into rain, making for a messy morning commute.
According to the National Weather Service, snow and sleet will change to rain between 1 a.m. and 4 a.m. as temperatures rise to the mid-30s. Winds will pick up, gusting up to 15 mph, and roads could become slick, especially on untreated surfaces. Commuters should allow extra time for travel and check for transit delays.
Thursday will see gradual clearing with a high near 46°F, but wet roads may remain an issue. Friday is expected to be sunny with a high of 36°F. Valentine’s weekend will bring a mix of clouds and rain, with Saturday seeing snow showers before turning to rain.
Drivers should exercise caution, especially on bridges and overpasses, where ice tends to form first. Stay updated on weather alerts and travel advisories throughout the week.
