New York City, NY – Snow continues to fall across the Tri-State area Sunday evening, with slippery travel conditions expected through the end of the night as a Winter Weather Advisory remains in effect until midnight.

According to the National Weather Service in New York, parts of southern Connecticut, northeastern New Jersey, and southeastern New York — including New York City and Long Island — can expect total snow accumulations between 2 and 4 inches before the advisory expires late Sunday night.

The advisory covers a wide area, including Manhattan, the Bronx, Brooklyn, Queens, Staten Island, Nassau County, Westchester County, Rockland County, Bergen County in New Jersey, and portions of Fairfield and New Haven counties in Connecticut. Snowfall rates are expected to remain light to moderate, but untreated roads could quickly become slick.

The primary impact is expected to be hazardous driving conditions, particularly on bridges, overpasses, and secondary roads. Evening commuters and overnight drivers are urged to slow down and allow extra time to reach their destinations.

Transportation agencies across the region continue to monitor road conditions, with crews treating major highways and local streets as temperatures hover near freezing. Officials recommend checking state and local Department of Transportation updates for the latest road conditions and any service changes.

Air travel delays are also possible at major regional airports, including JFK, LaGuardia, Newark Liberty, and Westchester County Airport, as snowfall continues through the late evening hours.

Residents are advised to limit unnecessary travel, use caution while walking on sidewalks, and prepare for reduced visibility at times. The snow is expected to taper off toward midnight, with no significant additional accumulation anticipated after the advisory ends.
