The Big Apple is expected to bump into 3-5 inches of snow over the weekend. Or, under the winter storm formula, there's a mix of ice-like winter ice, a meteorologist said Friday.
Fox meteorologist Stephanie Van Oppen said the powerful storm exploded from the Great Lakes, slamming the city on Saturday night and Sunday morning, falling below the freeze.
“In any case, we're going to see some kind of wet, heavy snow or sleet,” she told the Post. “And that's a concern for drivers, as anything that's not cleared could re-freeze Sunday night.”
The northern parts of cities, such as the Bronx and Manhattan upper, are expected to be snowiest as temperatures enter the bone cold.
The citywide temperatures will drop to 30 degrees on Saturday and 23 degrees on Sunday, Van Oppen said.
The worst storm is expected to pass by noon on Sunday, but the winter mix could refreeze Sunday nights and cause dangerous road conditions for commuters on Monday mornings.
More snow and ice is also expected throughout the week, according to Van Oppen.
“This could be the first of multiple times [NYC] We'll see snow this week,” she said. “Everyone needs to prepare to continue the winter.”
The storm also predicts that it will blow the Eastern Rockies along with the Dakotas and Boston.
