URGENT UPDATE: Snow is set to blanket the Tri-State Area early Tuesday morning, prompting officials to issue a First Alert Weather Day. Light snow will start moving in around 3-4 a.m., creating potential travel disruptions during the morning commute.
Temperatures on Monday are expected to start in the 20s, gradually climbing into the upper 30s by afternoon. While skies will be mostly sunny, wind chills will keep the feel in the low 30s. As evening descends, clouds will thicken, setting the stage for Tuesday’s winter weather.
According to CBS News New York, light snow will continue through the morning hours, primarily affecting areas north and west of the city. Commuters should prepare for slick roads, as a coating of up to 1 inch of snow is expected on colder surfaces.
By midday Tuesday, the precipitation is forecasted to shift from snow to rain for many areas, with temperatures rising into the mid and upper 30s as the system moves out. This event is categorized as minor, but the impact on travel could be significant, so residents are advised to stay updated on conditions.
