NEW YORK (PIX11) — A potent coastal storm is expected to make its way toward the tri-state region this weekend. Temperatures will be just cold enough for the potential for some snow in New York City.
It has been quite a long time since the New York City area had a storm that gave an appreciable accumulation of snow. Feb. 13, 2022, was the last time a winter storm dropped an inch or more of snow in Central Park.

While the forecast models agree the winter storm will impact the tri-state region this weekend, there is still a lot of uncertainty on the track of the storm, which will ultimately determine whether New York City gets rain, snow, or everything in between.
The forecast models continue to fluctuate with the track, and that creates uncertainty about when the snow-rain changeover periods could occur.
Here is a potential timeline for the winter storm:
- Saturday morning: Clouds thickening
- Saturday afternoon: Some light snow may develop, otherwise, it remains cloudy.
- Saturday evening: The winds pick up. For coastal sections, any snow that is falling will change over to rain. Most inland sections will remain snow, although some areas closer to the coast may mix with sleet
- Saturday night: The brunt of the storm. Coastal areas will be dealing with rain, while inland areas will stay as snow. Winds along Long Island may gust upwards to 40 mph or more.
- Sunday morning: The low will start to pull out, and we will see the precipitation start to wind down. As cold air pulls in behind the storm, all sections see a little snow, although accumulations will be light. The winds will also start to ease as well. Coastal flooding will be possible at high tide.
- Sunday afternoon/evening: The storm should finally dissipate totally, although there will still be a breeze.

As many as 1 inch to 3 inches of snow will be possible for New York City and points east and south. Snow totals will be higher for areas away from the coast, with as many as 6 inches or more possible for northern New Jersey and the Hudson Valley north of Interstate 287.
Snow totals may decrease if the storm tracks closer along the coast, making it mainly a rain event. On the other hand, should the storm track further away, snow totals may increase by a couple of inches.
