Looks like NYC’s white Christmas is going to be delayed by 24 hours.
Although December 25th hovered around 44 degrees and had fairly mild conditions, December 26th is another story. (Adjust your holiday travel accordingly, folks.)
If you’ve yet to retrieve your snow boots from the underbelly of your closet, you’ll want to reconsider.
Snow storm weather forecast: NYC braces for up to six inches of snow
According to the AccuWeather Forecast, temperatures will plummet to 30 degrees on December 26th and the city can see several inches of snow. Per AccuWeather’s wintercast, we could potentially be looking at anywhere from three to six inches of snow between the 26th at 4pm and Saturday the 27th at 9am. Other predictions indicate we can be getting up to 10 inches.
Though we had a false alarm earlier this week, it would appear that Mother Nature means business this time around.
The New York City Emergency Management System has sent out warnings to travel cautiously and shared winter tips for NYC residents, as well as resources. A post on X reads,
Flurries will start tomorrow afternoon before intensifying in the evening. Total snow amount predicted is 4-8”. We will continue to provide updates as they come.
Per NBC News, meteorologists predict that temperatures will hover around the freezing mark and the peak of the snowstorm will be roughly midnight on Friday through 6am on Saturday.
The outlet also suggests that if the experts are correct, this will be a record-breaking storm. If we get up to four inches of snow, it’ll be the most NYC/Central Park has seen in nearly four years.
So, are you ready for the flurries, or do you think it’ll be another false alarm? Time will tell. Stay safe, NYC!
