A significant winter storm is set to hit New York City on Thursday, starting with snow after midnight and transitioning to sleet and freezing rain during rush hour. The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory warning drivers of slick roads due to freezing rain. Forecasts predict 1 to 3 inches of snow accumulation before temperatures warm up into the mid-30s, changing precipitation to rain by early afternoon. Public transit use is encouraged, and local school closures and travel restrictions have been implemented in response to the impending storm.
A brief time of freezing rain could lead to slick spots on roads as temperatures hover near freezing - so anyone driving or walking to work in the morning should take it slow.
By 10 a.m. to 12 p.m. Thursday, we warm up into our mid to upper 30s in the city - with all rain coming to an end by the early afternoon.
