Up to a foot of snow could fall across New York City between Sunday night and Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
The combination of strong winds and snow have the potential to make conditions blizzard-like in the Tri-State area.
The five boroughs of New York City are under a winter storm watch from late Sunday night through Monday as a nor’easter is forecast to dump between 6 – 12 inches of snow, according to the National Weather Service.
The forecast calls for snow to begin developing late on Jan. 31 and continue into Monday, with the heaviest snow expected during the day and early evening on Feb. 1. Snow showers may also occur into Tuesday, after the brunt of the storm has left the area.
Snowfall rates could reach between 1 and 2 inches per hour, in some spots, on Monday, with blizzard-like conditions expected at times. It’ll also be bitterly cold, with temperatures not expected to get above the low 30s.
