New York, NY – A wintry mix will hit New York City overnight into Wednesday, bringing snow, sleet, and freezing rain before turning to rain by Thursday. The changing conditions could cause slick roads and hazardous commutes across the metro area.
According to the National Weather Service, snow will begin after 4 a.m. Wednesday, with wind chill values dropping between 25 and 30 degrees. Accumulations of 1 to 3 inches are expected before a transition to sleet and freezing rain early Wednesday morning. By late Wednesday night, steady rain will move in, with heavier downpours likely Thursday morning.
Temperatures will climb to the low 40s by Thursday afternoon, reducing the risk of ice but increasing the potential for flooding in low-lying areas. The storm will clear by Thursday night, bringing dry and sunny conditions for Friday.
Drivers should use caution, especially during Wednesday’s morning commute. Sidewalks and untreated roads could be slick, particularly in areas north of the city. The next system arrives Saturday, bringing another round of rain.
Stay updated on weather conditions and plan accordingly for changing road conditions throughout the week.
