NYC Can Expect Up To 9 Inches Of Snow Between Tonight & Tomorrow

Though the Northeast has been anxiously patrolling the path of this weekend’s nor’easter all week long, the total impact of the storm is still uncertain.

This morning, New Yorkers awoke to gorgeous flurries. Light snow is expected to carry throughout Friday day until 2 p.m. and it’s looking like this morning’s flurries will be just the tip of the iceberg for what’s to come this weekend. According to the National Weather Service, NYC can expect up to 9 inches of snow between tonight and tomorrow thanks to winter storm Kenan.

As of Wednesday, New Yorkers weren’t sure whether to expect blizzard-like conditions or no snow at all. But as of this morning, The National Weather Service confirmed that “a strong storm will impact the area tonight into Saturday night.”

NYC is under a Winter Storm Warning beginning at 7 p.m. this evening through 7 p.m. Saturday evening. And though NYC was anticipating blizzard-like conditions, it’s more likely such weather conditions will affect Eastern Long Island instead.

The National Weather Service predicts that visibility “may be reduced to 1/4 mile or less at times Saturday morning,” therefore New Yorkers should be cautious of travel difficulties and great winds. NYC is predicted to see snowfall rate of 1/2-1″ per hour through tonight into tomorrow.

And as the weather rages on and we gear up for winter storm Kenan, just think about all the wonderful outdoor winter activities we can enjoy once it blows over!
