New York City is bracing for another round of snow, which is likely to create slippery conditions for commuters on Monday morning.
Late Sunday night, a swift spell of light snow is anticipated to sweep through the region, affecting the I-95 corridor, including New York City, Long Island, and parts of northeastern New Jersey, as it continues into early Monday.
According to Fox Weather experts, most areas should prepare for snowfall amounts ranging from 1 to 2 inches, though some places might experience only a light dusting.
In New York City, residents can expect around an inch of snow, with similar amounts predicted for the eastern portion of Long Island.
Overnight temperatures are forecast to drop into the upper 20s and lower 30s. Although these temperatures are just below freezing, they are sufficient for snow to accumulate on untreated roads and grassy areas.
Forecasters caution that snow- and slush-covered roads could make for hazardous travel late Sunday night and into the Monday morning commute on Presidents Day.
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.
