What to Know
- It stays dreary outside through the Friday morning commute; we'll dry out by midday, but clouds will linger into Saturday
- Sunday brings wind and rain back which may turn to snow Sunday night into Monday morning for areas far north and west of the city; most of coastal New Jersey, New York and Connecticut will just see rain
- Once that system moves out it feels more springlike, with temps staying in the 40s; February begins with near-normal temps
Snow lovers may be disappointed with the weather this weekend. A storm that was looking like it could start as rain before turning to snow now appears it will bring rain for most of the immediate NYC metro area.
The change in the forecast is the result of temperatures trending warming for early next week, which will lead to rain instead of snow for city residents.
The next storm moves in pretty quickly, following a dreary few days. Showers are expected by early Sunday with rain and gusty winds expected to pick up into the evening. Some transition to snow Sunday night is likely in the Hudson Valley and northern Connecticut, while that warm airs keeps rain around for everyone else.
