NY: Yikes! Weather in New York
NEW YORK (77WABC) — Forecasters say an approaching nor’easter could dump up to a foot of snow in the Big Apple.
Accuweather senior meteorologist Paul Walker told The New York Post that New Yorkers will need to bundle up to brave the outdoors as the winter storm ushers in a cold front Friday night.
“You should certainly layer tomorrow night through Saturday and use caution” Walker said.
According to Walker, forecasters add that temperatures could dip in the city as low as 20 degrees on Friday, and 13 degrees on Saturday. Snowfall will begin Friday night and continue into the following evening.
He added that while the exact path of the storm is unclear, New York can still expect between 6 and 12 inches of snow.
In a Wednesday evening briefing, the National Weather Service (NWS) warned that there remains “an unusual amount of uncertainty in snow amounts with this storm two days out” and said “significant changes are possible.” New York City’s Office of Emergency Management also told residents to start planning for the storm Thursday.
