Just as New Yorkers started to see the grass beneath the slush, another Nor\u2019easter<\/a> is en route to the tristate area this weekend.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service has issued a 36-hour storm watch<\/a>, set to go into effect beginning at 6 a.m. Sunday and ending around 6 p.m. Monday.<\/p>\n

The offshore storm activity<\/a> is expected to affect all five boroughs and Long Island, as well as other portions of southeast New York, northeast New Jersey and southern Connecticut.<\/p>\n

The NWS warns of potential heavy snow, with total accumulations of between 6 and 10 inches<\/a> in most locations, and wind gusts of up to 40 mph. In Suffolk County, conditions could get even worse, with snow totaling up to 13 inches, forecasters said Friday.<\/p>\n

Ahead of the Monday morning commute, meteorologists advised caution as \u201careas of blowing snow could significantly reduce visibility,\u201d while the \u201ccombination of gusty winds and heavy wet snow could bring down tree branches.\u201d<\/p>\n

Dan DePodwin, AccuWeather\u2019s vice president of forecasting operations, said just a \u201csmall wobble\u201d in the storm track could make a huge difference in snow totals for cities near the heavily trafficked highways that connect the tristate region.<\/p>\n

\u201cIf the center of the storm comes in closer to the coast, heavier bands can shift into the I-95 corridor,\u201d he said. \u201cTravel disruptions are likely on the highways and at the airports on Sunday and can last into Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

There\u2019s still some uncertainty with just how hazardous conditions could get, though the National Weather Service said Friday there was \u201cincreasing confidence of an impactful snowfall across the region Sunday into Monday.\u201d<\/p>\n

NYC and the surrounding areas have been pushing through frigid temperatures ever since the massive storm late last month<\/a>, which dropped over 10 inches of snow in Central Park and resulted in the cancellation of thousands of flights<\/a>.<\/p>\n

City streets have been narrowed ever since, with mountains of plowed snow-turned-slush encroaching on both roadways and sidewalks.<\/p>\n

However, forecasters have some good news for the weeks ahead, as spring slowly but surely starts to appear.\u00a0By next weekend, highs could reach the low 50s<\/a>, with clouds giving way to some much-needed sun.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Just as New Yorkers started to see the grass beneath the slush, another Nor\u2019easter is en route to…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":140583,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[35],"tags":[85,267,75,84,83,607,9,24,264,10,12,63,133],"class_list":["post-140582","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-manhattan","tag-latest-headlines","tag-local-news","tag-manhattan","tag-manhattan-headlines","tag-manhattan-news","tag-national-news","tag-new-york","tag-new-york-city","tag-new-york-county","tag-new-york-news","tag-news","tag-nyc","tag-weather"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140582","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=140582"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/140582\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/140583"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=140582"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=140582"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=140582"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
