A Winter Storm warning has been issued for parts of the Tri-State area, including all Connecticut and parts of Hudson Valley, in front of a system expected to dump over 6 inches of snow in areas north and west of New York City.

The rest of the tri-state, including the five boroughs and most of New Jersey, is under a winter weather advice where lower snow hotels are expected.

Snow -Totals around New York City are expected to be between 2 and 5 inches, but it varies depending on the district. Check the latest weather warnings for your neighborhood here.

Staten Island and parts of southern Queens and Brooklyn will be on the underside and be able to see only 1-3 inches. Manhattan is solid in the 3-5 series along with the rest of Brooklyn and Queens. Parts of the northern Bronx could see up to 8 inches.

Higher 5-8 inches totals will be more common throughout the Hudson Valley, Northern New Jersey and for almost all Connecticut, excluding the immediate coastline.

Central Jersey is expected to see 1-3 inches, while Southern Jersey will be even smaller.

A Winter Storm warning will take effect north of NYC at. 17 Saturday and extends through Sunday at noon. As for the city, Long Island and much of New Jersey. A winter weather counseling comes into force in the same timeframe.

When is it going to snow Saturday?

The snow is intended to move on Saturday night and leave the area early Sunday. The daytime hours on both Saturday and Sunday should be dry.

The timing is perfect for minimizing the impact on the journey as there should not be many vehicles on the road when the snow comes down to the heaviest. That said, if your travel plans have you on the move on Saturday night, you need to be warned – roads will be a mess. New York City said it would suspend alternative parking parking on Saturday to help remove snow.

The event begins like all snow. Snowfall speeds pick up and we begin to see a transition from snow to gossip mixed with slightly freezing rain along the coast and south of NYC for early Sunday.

ICE accumulations will be light in the Tri-State area, but can make untreated roads, sidewalks and driveways extra smooth, so take extreme caution when you go out on Sunday morning.

Overall, Sunday can be a great day if you love snow and don’t have to travel. Make your sled ready!

When we look ahead, we also have a few more chances for winter weather later next week.
