It’s been a relatively quiet winter in the Northeast and New England, but all of that is about to change as a snowstorm is expected to impact the region starting Monday night and lasting through Wednesday.
Blockbuster snow totals aren’t expected, but there is an increasing likelihood that several inches could fall in interior New York state and across portions of New England.
New York City is bracing for its biggest storm of the season. The city could get 1-3 inches of accumulating snow when the winter storm gets underway Monday evening. Northern suburbs could expect heavier totals as the storm cranks up.
“New York City is going to be right on the sort of the dividing line between nuisance snow and no snow at all,” said Fox News Weather meteorologist Mike Rawlins. “So for the city, we’re in the 1-3 (inches) range.”
The first snow will begin between the evening commute and midnight, Rawlins said — and keep dumping into Tuesday morning.
Before reaching the East Coast, the storm will sweep through the Upper Midwest on Monday.
As it does, the FOX Forecast Center expects it to meet up with cold air in place and could produce a swath of ice and snow.
Winter Storm Watches have been issued in advance of the threat.
