NEW YORK — Record heat is expected for much of the New York City area on Saturday, but all eyes are on a possible snow storm Monday night into Tuesday that could dump measurable snow on the three states.
Saturday will be very warm and mild, with the possibility of some showers and thunderstorms later in the afternoon and evening.
Sunday will be a little cooler than Saturday, but still well above average for this time of year. Sunday and most of Monday are expected to be dry.
When will it start to snow?
Precipitation will begin late Monday night and will begin as rain across most of our region. Areas further north and west of the city, and in the northern half of Connecticut, could see mostly snow.
On Tuesday morning, as temperatures become colder, the immediate New York City area will see a change to snow.
Tuesday morning and afternoon commutes could be affected by the storm and its impacts.
How much snow will we have?
It’s still a few days away, so the forecast is likely to be refined, but we have an early first look at the snow forecast.
Warmer temperatures, rain and sleet could reduce snow totals in New York City and coastal areas. The Weather Authority is currently forecasting less than 1 inch of snow for New York City, Long Island, Hudson County and the Jersey Shore.
The Hudson Valley and inland areas of New Jersey, Pennsylvania and Connecticut are likely to receive larger amounts. High-level snow totals could reach 6 to 10 inches at higher elevations.
It’s important to note that New York City and nearby coastal areas could see more snow if temperatures trend colder on Tuesday.
The Weather Authority will continue to update the forecast as necessary throughout the weekend and as we get closer to the storm.
What can we expect for Valentine’s Day?
Once the storm moves through Tuesday, we can expect cool, but seasonal, temperatures for the rest of the week.
Valentine’s Day is expected to be partly sunny, with highs in the 30s and lows in the 20s.
There is a chance of snow rain next Saturday, but it is too early to say anything definitive at this time.
