After there was a potential for a lot of snow on Monday that didn’t come through, the storm that’s coming in now has a bit more possibility.
The National Weather Service is eyeing snow overnight Thursday into Friday, with 3-5 inches possible across both days.
⚠️The Tri-State's first widespread snowfall of the season is likely to occur late tonight into the first half of Friday.
A general 3-5" is expected, with significant disruption to tomorrow AM's commute possible.https://t.co/i0FYVWlJzv pic.twitter.com/tljsXfPCCd

NBC’s Storm Team 4 predicts the same at the moment:
Get ready to wake up to a blanket of white Friday morning! Likely 2-4" in the city. Pretty, yes. But it could make for a messy morning commute. #StormTeam4NY pic.twitter.com/nscpQfjEnl
