After initially fighting the dry, cold air mass, the snowfall will begin in earnest Sunday morning, likely around dawn, in New York City and th...

Neither storm is a blockbuster, but both are expected to cause minor travel issues in colder inland areas. The first system arrives just after midnight and lasts through late Saturday afternoon. A Winter Weather Advisory is in effect for nor...

The core of the heaviest rainfall has been trending farther south, reducing impacts for areas north and west of the city. Those regions are not under the alert.

Tuesday will be a fight to reach freezing, and with strong winds, it will feel more like the teens. Wind advisories now cover the entire region, with gusts potentially reaching 50 mph. These conditions could lead to downed tree limbs and power lines, so drivers should watch for debris and maintain a firm grip on the wheel, especially on bridges and overpasses.
