STATEN ISLAND,N.Y. \u2014 The New York City area is expected to receive light snowfall Sunday evening into Monday morning, prompting city agencies to activate winter weather protocols.<\/p>\n

National Weather Service<\/a> meteorologist Marc Chenard said light snow will likely begin around 10 p.m., with temperatures dropping below freezing overnight. The snow is expected to end by around 5 a.m. Monday morning.<\/p>\n

\u201cGenerally, not expecting much but probably for the most part it\u2019ll be a coating to an inch,\u201d Chenard said. \u201cIt\u2019s possible some spots around could get up towards 1 to 2 inches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Temperatures will hover around freezing during the snowfall and could drop into the upper 20s overnight before climbing back to the upper 30s to around 40 degrees Monday, according to Chenard.<\/p>\n

New York City Emergency Management issued a weather alert for Sunday evening through Monday morning.<\/a><\/p>\n

\u201cWe know how challenging the weather has been over the past several weeks for New Yorkers,\u201d Christina Farrell, the acting New York City Emergency Management commissioner, said in a press release. \u201cThankfully, this snow is not expected to be severe, but it\u2019s still important to plan ahead and use caution on untreated roads and sidewalks.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Department of Sanitation announced a winter operations advisory <\/a>will go into effect Sunday evening. The advisory is the department\u2019s lower-level snow-combating notification.<\/p>\n

The department will deploy more than 700 salt spreaders and has hundreds of millions of pounds of salt on hand. The department will monitor and plan salting using its Bladerunner 2.0 tracking operation.<\/p>\n

Garbage collection is already suspended Monday for the Presidents\u2019 Day holiday. The department said the winter weather is unlikely to substantially impact collection further, and residents with Monday collection should place it out Monday night for post-holiday service. <\/p>\n

Emergency management officials advised residents to allow additional travel time overnight and during the Monday morning commute and to use caution on untreated sidewalks, streets and roadways.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Chenard said the forecast is generally clear for the rest of the week, though Wednesday could bring rain to the city. Another system could bring wintry weather to upstate New York on Wednesday, <\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll just have to keep a little bit of an eye on Wednesday,\u201d Chenard said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"STATEN ISLAND,N.Y. \u2014 The New York City area is expected to receive light snowfall Sunday evening into Monday…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":134760,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[39],"tags":[9,24,63,134,136,135],"class_list":["post-134759","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-staten-island","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-nyc","tag-staten-island","tag-staten-island-headlines","tag-staten-island-news"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134759","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=134759"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/134759\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/134760"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=134759"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=134759"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=134759"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
