The Weather Authority monitors another possible winter storm from Thursday through Friday that could leave up to 4 inches of snow in parts of the tri-state area, including New York City.
Snow is expected to start falling in some places late Thursday, but most of it is forecast between 12 a.m. and 7 a.m. Friday. The weather is likely to cause some problems for Friday morning’s commute due to slippery roads and slow traffic, although running totals are not expected to be significant.
Light snow is expected to persist through Friday morning, although little to no additional accumulation is expected once the heavier bands move.
At this point, The Weather Authority forecasts that locations south and east of New York City will experience the highest totals, as was the case with a storm earlier this week that dropped more than a foot of snow in parts of New Jersey. Eastern Long Island and southern Jersey could see up to 5 inches, according to the most recent forecast, while the city could see up to 4 inches.
