After the recent winter storm that blanketed parts of the New York City area with nearly a foot of snow, residents are bracing for another round of wintry weather. However, the good news is that this upcoming system won’t pack nearly as much punch as Tuesday’s storm.
According to meteorologists, a quick-moving system is expected to roll through the region during Wednesday evening, bringing with it some light snow. While areas north of the city, including the Hudson Valley and Connecticut, may see up to an inch of accumulation, the rest of the NYC area can breathe a sigh of relief – snowfall amounts will be minimal.
Following a mostly sunny and clear Friday, another chance for snow arises on Saturday. However, details about this system remain uncertain, with forecasters predicting only light accumulations at this time.
Tuesday’s storm, which brought chaos and disruption to the region, marked the biggest snowfall in Central Park in 24 months. While the city’s plows were deployed for the first time in two years, accumulation in some areas, such as Central Park and LaGuardia, was minimal. Nonetheless, the storm served as a reminder of winter’s grip on the Northeast.
As the NYC area prepares for the possibility of more snow, residents are urged to stay informed and take necessary precautions. While this upcoming system may not be as severe as Tuesday’s storm, it’s always best to be prepared for winter weather conditions in the region. Stay tuned for further updates as meteorologists continue to monitor the situation closely.
