New York City is bracing for more snowfall, potentially making Monday morning’s commute a slippery affair for drivers.
Starting late Sunday night, a brief spell of light snow is anticipated to sweep through the I-95 corridor. This will affect areas including the city, Long Island, and parts of northeast New Jersey, extending into the early hours of Monday.
According to Fox Weather, most regions should expect snowfall accumulations of 1 to 2 inches, though some spots might see just a light dusting.
In New York City and the eastern reaches of Long Island, snowfall is predicted to measure around an inch.
Overnight temperatures are forecasted to dip into the upper 20s and lower 30s, which, although not extremely low, will be cold enough for snow to stick on untreated roadways and grassy areas.
Forecasters are warning that snow and slush on the roads could create dangerous conditions for drivers late Sunday night and during the Presidents Day morning commute.
The snow is expected to taper off early Monday as the coastal low deepens and exits the Northeast. Sunshine should return by Monday afternoon.
Any accumulation likely won’t stick around for long.
Highs are forecast to rebound into the 40s Monday afternoon, continuing into Tuesday and Wednesday, helping melt leftover snow and ice.
By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to climb to around the upper 40s with partial sunshine.
Milder weather in the 40s is projected through much of the week, though additional rain chances return Wednesday and again Friday.
For now, Fox Weather says this looks like a minor, short-lived event — but New Yorkers should plan for a few slick hours overnight Sunday into early Monday.
