NYC Braces for Winter Storm Blair: Snow and Ice on Monday?

Winter Storm Blair is heading east, bringing the possibility of snow and ice to New York City as early as Monday morning. The weekend will see some sunny spells with temperatures slightly above freezing, but a drop to the mid-to-high 20s overnight Sunday is expected.

Monday's forecast: Cloudy skies with flurries are predicted, mainly from late morning to mid-afternoon. While AccuWeather forecasts about an inch of accumulation, the National Weather Service warns that a shift in the storm's track could lead to significantly heavier snowfall.

Potential Travel Impacts: The National Weather Service has warned of possible travel impacts for both the Monday morning and afternoon commutes. The exact amount of snowfall remains uncertain, with even small shifts in the storm's path potentially altering accumulation by several inches.

Further south, cities like Baltimore and Washington, D.C. could see up to 6 inches of snow.

The storm is expected to weaken by Monday night, but lingering snow and ice might affect Tuesday morning commutes. The rest of the week in NYC is forecast to be sunny but chilly, with temperatures around freezing.
