New York City will experience a white Christmas following a winter storm that hits the region for several days when tourist activity for the season is picking up.
After a quiet start to the week, with highs in the 40s and lows below zero until Wednesday, the northeast of the state will be hit by a winter storm that could continue through the holiday weekendaccording to Fox Weather meteorologist Christopher Tate.
However, it’s too early to describe specifically how the storm will play out or how much snow might fall in New York.
The most latent scenario is for a fast-moving winter weather system causing rain along the I-95 corridor through Thursday afternoon. So that The “terrible” conditions are estimated to end on Saturday afternoon, which is Christmas Eve, leaving just that day dry, cold and calm.Tate reported.
North of the entity, in the Buffalo and Syracuse area, the snow is expected to begin Friday and last through the weekend.
Moreover, A northeasterly storm is expected to hit the Big Apple next Friday, bringing a winter mix, including snow, that could last through Christmas, explained the meteorologist. Rain, if the above occurs, could lead to “really shocking snow as the DOT will need salt trucks,” Tate revealed.
“Something is going to happen, and whether or not it impacts Christmas travel,” Tate said.
AAA projects that at least 112.7 million people will travel 50 miles or more from Dec. 23 to Jan. 2, and the vast majority will arrive in their own vehicles, though demand for flights has also increased despite high airline prices. The worst time to travel will be Friday afternoon and Saturday morning, the organizers have predicted, or likely during the height of the storm hitting the region.
The last time New York State had a Christmas this snowy was 2009. That year citizens woke up to 2 inches of snow in Central Park.
