New York, NY – Light snow showers are expected to sweep across parts of New York late Thursday afternoon into tonight. The National Weather Service (NWS) forecasts the highest snowfall on the South Fork of Long Island, where accumulations could reach up to half an inch. Other areas may see less snow, with totals ranging from a dusting to a few tenths of an inch.
According to the NWS, the snowfall is anticipated to begin this afternoon and taper off by early Friday morning. Long Island residents, particularly in the South Fork region, should plan for potentially slick road conditions. While snow amounts are minor, drivers are advised to exercise caution during the evening commute and overnight travel.
Elsewhere in the New York region, snowfall will be scattered and lighter. Coastal and eastern areas are likely to see the most measurable snow. Urban centers like New York City may experience only flurries or light precipitation.
Meteorologists note that the snow is part of a weak system passing through the Northeast, with little impact beyond minimal accumulations. However, temperatures will remain cold, making untreated roads and sidewalks icy.
Residents should monitor local weather updates and prepare for minor travel disruptions. Officials recommend clearing walkways and salting icy surfaces to ensure safety.
