Snow might hit NYC this weekend-here's what to know

"The setup started yesterday, when a storm system slid our way with big snow energy, only to get softened by a surge of warmer air. Instead of a full-on snow event, most of what falls in the city will arrive as a wintry mix, with rain doing most of the heavy lifting. Temperatures today will fall into the upper 30s and that's when the forecast officially enters "will it or won't it" territory."

"By Friday night, there will be a small but real chance of snow developing after midnight, followed by a weekend with on-and-off flurries. Saturday looks like the main wildcard, with forecasters calling for a chance of snow before temperatures creep just high enough to turn it into rain later in the day. Sunday keeps the theme going with colder air settling in and the possibility of snow showers lingering over the city."

"Before you start planning your Central Park sledding debut, know that this is shaping up to be more "snow globe vibes" than "citywide shutdown." Accumulation, if it happens at all, is expected to be light. The bigger impact could come from quick bursts of snow that lower visibility and turn sidewalks slick. Travel-wise, the good news is that forecasters aren't predicting major disruptions along the I-95 corridor, meaning most commutes should stay manageable."

A storm system with strong snow energy was weakened by a surge of warmer air, producing mostly a wintry mix and rain instead of heavy snow. Temperatures falling into the upper 30s create uncertainty between snow and rain. A small chance of snow may develop after midnight Friday, leading to on-and-off flurries through the weekend. Saturday is the wildcard, with morning snow possibly changing to rain as temperatures rise; Sunday will be colder with lingering snow showers and lower wind chills. Accumulation is expected to be light, but brief heavy bursts could reduce visibility and make sidewalks slick. Major corridor travel disruptions are not expected, though fast changes could cause localized delays, especially early Saturday.
