NEW YORK — Did we hear you right? Snow in the forecast?
Current snow forecasts show the first flakes of the season hitting New York this week, and just days later parts of the tri-state area are experiencing daily heat records.
But before we see snow, temperatures have to drop significantly. And that starts on Sunday evening.
Sunday had some showers during the morning before sunrise. Afterwards, skies remain mostly clear to close out the weekend. And even if it’s sunny, temperatures should stay in the low 50s during the day.
The cold will begin to set in and drop down to 30 degrees for many in and around the city. This is why it is recommended to remove heavy coats from the wardrobe.
It’s time to start wearing your warm coats.
And this is where we start talking about snow.
Overnight temperatures remain freezing Monday as a Freeze Watch goes into effect for parts of New Jersey, Long Island and New York City well into the next morning.
The rain is moving on Tuesday night and you’ll find some chilly air in the city’s north and west suburbs, meaning a winter mix is possible in places like Sullivan, Ulster and Orange counties.
Drivers or anyone commuting to work on the roads should exercise caution Wednesday morning as slippery conditions could be reserved for commuters.
The extended forecast has nothing but cooler temperatures in store for the region.
