A Winter Storm warning has been issued for New York City ahead of this weekend's storm.

Significant impacts are expected, delaying travel, due to plowable snow Friday night into Saturday morning.

A snowstorm moves in through the city Friday night into Saturday morning. Snow will begin shortly after 6 p.m. Friday and taper off by around 7 a.m. Saturday, with a few lingering snow showers.

By noon Saturday, sunshine will break through, making for a brighter afternoon.

Most areas can expect 4 to 8 inches of accumulation, but a narrow snow band could push totals to 8 to 12 inches in some spots. While snow banding is difficult to predict ahead of time, this pattern suggests the possibility.

With temperatures in the mid-20s, the snow will be light and fluffy, allowing it to pile up quickly.

Saturday afternoon will be sunny and brisk, so watch for slick spots if you head out. Sunday brings a mix of sun and clouds with breezy conditions, and Monday will feature a few rain showers.
