"After weeks of snow fatigue-and the weekend blizzard that dumped nearly two feet across parts of the region-meteorologists are tracking multiple systems that could bring more flakes to the city next week. The lone bright spot: confidence is still low and the details keep shifting."
"The bigger question mark sits early next week. A low-pressure system expected Monday into Monday night could bring accumulating snow, depending on how strong a high-pressure system over the region remains. If that high holds firm, the storm stays suppressed and New York City could see little impact. If it weakens, the door opens for more measurable snowfall."
"Another potential system Tuesday night into Wednesday is even less certain, with some models suggesting it could start as snow before changing to rain if it tracks farther north."
A system expected this afternoon may bring snow or rain-snow mix to coastal areas, though most models push it south of the tri-state area. Saturday offers a brief reprieve with sunshine and upper 40s temperatures before an arctic front arrives late Saturday into Sunday, potentially bringing scattered snow showers mostly north of the five boroughs. The primary uncertainty centers on a low-pressure system Monday into Monday night that could produce accumulating snow if a weakening high-pressure system allows it to track northward. A secondary system Tuesday night into Wednesday remains highly uncertain, with models disagreeing on whether it will produce snow or transition to rain. This forecast follows weeks of significant winter weather that has strained city resources.
