Snow and Wind for New York City, Long Island and Coastal New England Tuesday...

A storm over the Southeast will track northeast and strengthen off the coast of New Jersey tonight and Tuesday.  The storm will produce rain, snow, sleet and wind gusts over 30 mph late tonight and during the day tomorrow.  The weather has been unseasonably mild the past week so the snow should melt on the roadways after first with slushy accumulations on the roads and sidewalks expected in the afternoon.  Temperatures should remain near or slightly above freezing during the day.  A hard freeze will occur at night as the skies clear.  It will be cold Wednesday and Thursday.  The city has switched all city schools to remote learning on Tuesday.  No other significant storms on the horizon but colder weather may return late this month and early March.
