Summary:
NYC could see its first accumulating snowfall this weekend.
An Alberta clipper storm and an Atlantic system could bring 1-2 inches of snow.
Below-freezing temperatures increase chances of snow, but it's not guaranteed.
A low-pressure system in the Atlantic could be a wildcard, impacting snowfall.
Expect rain on Wednesday before the potential weekend snow.
NYC Weekend Snow Alert: Could We See a White Weekend?
This weekend, New York City might experience its first accumulating snowfall of the season, all thanks to an Alberta clipper storm teaming up with an Atlantic system. While recent flurries vanished due to warmer temperatures, this time, the conditions might be just right for a winter wonderland.
Will it Snow?
The key factors are temperature and storm interaction. AccuWeather predicts a below-freezing low of 29°F on Friday, perfect for snow. However, if only the clipper comes through, we might only see a few flurries.
The wildcard? An Atlantic low-pressure system. If it gets close enough, we could see steady snowfall resulting in 1-2 inches of accumulation! While not the most likely scenario, the possibility of a snowy Saturday remains.

Before the potential snow, expect rain on Wednesday, possibly bringing 0.3-0.5 inches of rainfall. Areas north of the Catskills might see a few inches of snow.
