The National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Warning for the Tri-state area, which is in effect until 7pm. A Rain/Snow mix began falling around 4am, and quickly changed over to a wet snow just in time for the morning rush hour. Snow will continue to fall through the early afternoon, and will begin to wind down during the evening rush hour, tapering off before 5pm this evening. As of 12 noon snow accumulations have averaged between 3 and 5 inches so far over Long Island and the five boroughs. An additional 2-4 inches will be likely before the storm pulls away from the area bringing the total snow amounts to 5-9 inches, with lesser amounts as you head north away from the city.
We will see a lull in precipitation during most of the day on Tuesday. However there will be yet another storm system moving into the area during the overnight hours on Tuesday night that is going to produce messy travel conditions on Wednesday. This next system is likely to bring more wintry weather with a potentially significant amount of snow and ice for the Tri-state area. For this reason, the National Weather Service has issued a Winter Storm Watch for Tuesday night into Wednesday.
