NEW YORK – Just days before Christmas, snow is falling across parts of the tri-state area, leading many to wonder whether a white Christmas is in store.<\/p>\n

Snow began falling across parts of the tri-state area Tuesday morning, prompting some schools to close or delay classes.<\/a><\/p>\n

The National Weather Service<\/a> has issued a Winter Weather Advisory for parts of northern New Jersey and New York, and Connecticut.\u00a0<\/p>\n

How much snow? \"\" <\/p>\n

Up to 1 to 2 inches of snow are expected in parts of New York including Westchester County and Fairfield County, with a few isolated spots possibly seeing up to 3 inches, according to the NWS.<\/a><\/p>\n

Snow is forecast to fall before 1 p.m. Tuesday, with periods of snow possibly mixing with rain as temperatures climb into the upper 30s. Forecasters say the milder air will limit how much snow sticks, especially on major roadways.<\/p>\n

“Grassy surfaces and rooftops will get it first,” FOX 5 NY meteorologist Mike Woods said. “The roads less traveled could get slick, but the main roads probably won\u2019t be in such bad shape.”<\/p>\n

Woods said snow is expected to cover much of the region, particularly northern New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and parts of western Long Island. However, the advisory excludes much of the immediate metro area, where warmer temperatures are expected to keep conditions mainly wet.<\/p>\n

Temperatures early Tuesday hovered around 38 degrees in Central Park and Newark, while colder readings in northern and higher-elevation areas increased the chance for snow to accumulate.<\/p>\n

Any lingering precipitation is expected to taper off Tuesday night, with skies gradually clearing and temperatures dropping to around freezing.<\/p>\n

Looking ahead, Wednesday is expected to be sunny but windy, with wind chills in the mid-20s. Clouds will increase Wednesday night ahead of Christmas Day.<\/p>\n

Christmas Day itself is forecast to be mostly cloudy with a high near 40 degrees and no snow expected, according to the NWS \u2014 dashing hopes for a widespread white Christmas across the region.<\/p>\n

What’s next:<\/p>\n

Chances for snow return later in the week, with a 40 percent chance of snow Friday afternoon and higher chances Friday night. Additional chances for snow linger into Saturday before rain becomes more likely Sunday.<\/p>\n

Forecasters urge drivers, especially in northern areas, to take it slow during Tuesday\u2019s morning commute, noting that slick spots are most likely in colder, less-traveled areas.<\/a><\/p>\n
