Snow Expected in the New York City Metro Region for the 2nd Day in a Row Tomorrow...Arctic Blast Follows This Week...

Low pressure tracking through New England today produced approximately 2 inches of snow in the city and the surrounding suburbs.  Higher amounts up to 4 inches were found north and west of the city. For the first time in years, there will be accumulating snow two days in a row from two different weather systems.  Low pressure forming off the Southeast coast tonight will track rapidly northeast.  Snow from this system will graze New Jersey, New York City and Long Island.  Higher amounts can be expected closer to the coast but rain mixing in may hold down accumulations in some areas.  Snow tomorrow is expected to total 2 to 4 inches.  Clearing and frigid weather will follow Sunday and it will not get out of the 20s on MLK Day.

Arctic Cold Front Bringing Snow Squalls to the Tri-State Region for the First Day of 2026...

An Arctic front and an intense upper-level trough have combined to produce snow squalls during the early morning across the NYC metro area.  As of 7 a.m., the NWS Snow Squall Warning continues for eastern Long Island and portions of the Jersey Shore.  Up to one inch of snow will fall that will produce slick roadways this morning.  The sky will clear with sunshine later today with temperatures several degrees below normal with highs in the 20s and 30s.  No precipitation is expected for the City through next weekend.
