Here’s what you need to know:
  • A WINTER WEATHER ADVISORY is in effect through 11 a.m. today. 1-2 inches + of snow and a light glaze of ice will bring slippery road conditions this morning.
  • After today's winter storm, another one is on the way this weekend.
  • It's slushy and messy morning with snow, ice and rain.
  • Here's the timeline:
  • NOW through 7:30 a.m. expect snow/ice mix that can come down moderate to heavy at times. Poor visibility and tricky travel is expected.
  • 7:30 a.m. through 10 a.m. expect snow to switch to all freezing rain and sleet. This will be the most treacherous part of the commute. Icy conditions can make traveling challenging and even immobilize vehicles.
  • 10 a.m. through 12 p.m.expect a quick changeover to rain. Roads will still be nasty slushy mess with the ongoing concern of slick sidewalks and side streets.
  • After 12 p.m. temperatures coming to the near 40 degrees. Snow and ice will melt and there will be pooling and large puddles in poor drainage and low-lying areas.
  • 1-3 inches of snowfall expected across the city and closer to 1 inch for coastal Brooklyn. A sheet of ice and rain will mix in bringing dangerous travel.
  • Friday will feature brighter, cold and gusty winds. Gusts up to 40mph will leave wind chills in the 30s.
  • Get ready for round two of wintry weather this weekend. We're getting a better idea for timing and precipitation type. This storm will start Saturday evening after 7 p.m. as snow, it will change over to some sleet or freezing rain and plain rain overnight into Sunday morning. Super Bowl Sunday looks drier during the afternoon and breezy.
  • The wintry pattern continues through next week with more chances of snow by Tuesday and Wednesday. Stay tuned for updates!
