NEW YORK (CBSNewYork) – Be ready to dig out from a good-sized winter storm on Monday morning. The storm was expected to land in our area in the early evening hours and then intensify heading into the early morning hours. According to CBS2 meteorologist and weather producer Mark McIntyre, Tri-State Area residents are to expect a mix of rain and snow to quickly change over to all snow as temperatures drop. It appears that the best bet for heavy snow will be through central New Jersey and just to the northwest of New York City, into parts of the lower Hudson Valley. Areas southeast of the city are expecting less snow, with perhaps minimal accumulations along the Jersey Shore and across the Twin Forks. WEB EXTRA – Watch New York’s Office of Emergency Management and other local officials give the latest updates on Sunday night’s storm: The brunt of the storm is expected to hit after 8 p.m. and could drop 1-2 inches an hour up until midnight. Heavy wet snow is likely, except far south where rain may still be mixing in. Snow is to continue overnight, but the rain/snow line will be inching north as some low-level warm air gets brought in from the south. Exactly how far this line travels remains a bit uncertain, so the gradient between a little snow and a lot of snow will be across a short distance. This will be a quick-moving system and will wrap up after 4 a.m., so expect to see some lingering flakes to start the morning commute. Total accumulations in the city are expected to be 4-6 inches, with up to 9 inches predicted just to the northwest. Expect gradually clearing and breezy conditions on Monday. WEB EXTRA – Gov. Cuomo provides the latest information on the state’s storm prep: Continue to check back with CBS New York for the latest weather updates and storm warnings<doc-sep>NEW YORK, NEW YORK — Those planning to stay home from school or work today after Sunday's winter storm are in for a pretty mild snow day. The few inches of snowfall tapered off early Monday morning and things will stay dry throughout the day, according to National Weather Service forecasts. Though some areas outside the city got nearly a foot of snow, most of NYC only saw a few inches, according to NWS snowfall totals around 1 a.m. Brooklyn saw the least with only about 1.6 inches, while parts of Queens got as much as 3.5 and Central Park came in with 3.8 inches. The city's winter storm warning ended around 7 a.m. Monday and the morning commute seemed to be going smoothly. Road conditions might still be slippery, forecasters warned, but as of about 7 a.m. most subways were running with good service aside from some delays on the N, Q, R and W trains after a power outage.<doc-sep>The storm could bring 3 to 6 inches of snow from New Jersey to Massachusetts. A new winter storm racing across the country brought snow from the Great Plains to the Midwest on Sunday before bringing significant snow to the Northeast and severe weather to the South later on in the day. Both Boston and New York City announced that public schools would be closed on Monday Brutal cold will move in behind the storm. Wind chills are as low as minus 30 and minus 40 in the Northern Plains and parts of Upper Midwest early Sunday. This air will move east over the next 48 hours. By Tuesday morning, single-digit wind chills will arrive in the Northeast. At least 3 inches of snow was reported in Denver Sunday morning from this storm, with 4 to 8 inches of snow reported in the foothills west of Interstate 25 in the Denver and Colorado Springs metro areas. Locally, 3 to 5 inches of snow is being reported in western Kansas. The snow shield was moving across parts of Kansas, Oklahoma and Nebraska early Sunday with difficult travel expected on Interstate 70, Interstate 35 and Interstate 80. At least 110 million Americans were under a winter weather alert on Sunday morning, including winter storm warnings, winter storm watches, winter weather advisories, wind chill warnings and wind chill advisories. Philadelphia, New York City and Boston are all included among the winter storm warnings. Also, nearly 24 million Americans are at risk for severe weather in the South on Sunday. Heavy rain moved into the Mississippi River Valley. Flash flooding is possible because some parts of this region are very saturated from heavy rain the last two weeks. Most of the eastern U.S. will be impacted by this major storm by late Sunday afternoon, with significant severe weather in the South and snow moving into the Northeast, including Maryland, New Jersey and Pennsylvania. On Sunday afternoon a line of intense storms will form along the cold front and become intense during the late afternoon and early evening hours. There is an enhanced risk for severe weather across parts of Alabama and Georgia with strong tornadoes possible, along with damaging winds and large hail. During a tornado warning in Lee County Alabama, there were several tornado touch-downs. Dispatchers told ABC News that the county is currently in "response and recovery," and two deaths have been confirmed. The storm will intensify as it tracks Northeast late Sunday into early Monday. It remains to be seen how close the rain/snow line comes to the major Interstate 95 cities as the latest guidance shows the rain/snow line will be right on or near I-95. There will be a wide swath of 3 to 6 inches of snow across the Northeast from Pennsylvania to Maine. However, there will also be an area from New Jersey to Massachusetts that will likely exceed 6 inches of snow. This region's snow totals will ultimately be determined by where the rain/snow line sets up. New York City and Boston are projected to get 6 to 8 inches of snow, while Hartford, Connecticut, will see 4 to 6 inches. The storm will begin to pull away from the Northeast early Monday. The storm will be moving rather fast, and the heaviest snow will be late Sunday night before the storm quickly moves off to the north and east.<doc-sep>
Weather NYC Weather: 10 Inches Of Snow Possible, Mayor Says A winter storm warning remains in effect until Monday morning. Public schools in the city will be closed Monday. Reply The National Weather Service expects a winter storm will leave New York City commuters with a sloppy commute Monday. (National Weather Service Twitter) NEW YORK — New York City schools will shutter Monday and many flights have been canceled as the city braces for up to 10 inches of snow — or more. The National Weather Service put commuters on high alert Sunday, predicting the region would get walloped with 5-8 inches of snow. But Mayor Bill de Blasio later upped that to six to 10 inches. "Snowfall predicted right now — we see six to 10 inches," he said, according to The New York Times. "But it could easily get up to 10 inches or more." The winter storm is bringing heavy snow to the tri-state area and the Monday morning commute will be "problematic," city officials warned. The wintry mix prompted airlines to cancel flights Sunday. Snowfall intensified Sunday night across the region, the NWS said, and the city could receive 1 inch of snow per hour through 10 p.m., after which up to 2 inches could fall each hour. "Roads will become snow covered, visibilities will become poor, and hazardous travel is expected," the agency said. "Use extra caution if you plan to travel tonight." The winter storm warning will remain in effect until around 7 a.m. Monday. New Yorkers could see a sloppy commute to start the week — the warning means severe weather will make travel dangerous or even impossible. More than a half-foot of snow could fall in the northern parts of Queens, upper Manhattan and the Bronx. Long Island is expected to get up to 6 inches of snow, while parts of northern New Jersey, Connecticut and Massachusetts could see 7-8 inches. New York City will see temperatures fall, to as low as the mid-20s Sunday night. Airlines canceled flights at John F. Kennedy International Airport, LaGuardia Airport and Newark Liberty International Airport ahead of the snow storm. Passengers should check with their carriers for updated flight information. New Jersey, meanwhile, declared a state of emergency Sunday afternoon.
