Light Snow Forecast for New York City, New Jersey and Long Island Late Thursday Night and Friday...

The first accumulating snow of the winter season is expected for the city late Thursday night into Friday morning as a fast moving storm passes east of the area. As much as 3 or 4 inches can fall over eastern Long Island with an inch or two in the city.  The storm is forecast to develop over the Southeast on Thursday. The storm is forecast to move east of the 40/70 (lat./long.) benchmark meteorologists use in the Northeast for a storm track that typically produced a signifcant snowfall.  If the storm passes farther east of this location, less snow is expected, if it passes closer to the coast, the snow may mix with sleet or rain.  The models all seem to agree that the storm will track far enough east to produce only 1 to 3 inches.  This is the first accumulating snow of the season in New York City.  The only measurable snow so far this season was the 0.2" that fell on Christmas Eve morning.  The weather will be colder and dry after the storm moves away Friday, milder weather in the 40s is expected for the city on Sunday.
