The National Weather Service issued a Blizzard Warning for New York City for the first time in eight years, with total snow accumulation of 15 to 24 inches possible.
The NWS Blizzard warning will go into effect on Sunday at 1 PM and remain in effect through Monday. Wind gusts are expected to go up to 50 mph, with moderate coastal flooding also possible.
The forecast is still evolving, and a storm tracking farther east could mean much less snow. Some weather models show less than 10 inches of accumulation.
“I’m asking all New Yorkers to stay inside and stay off the roads for your safety. These have the potential to be even more hazardous conditions than we faced the last time around,” NYC Mayor Zohran Mamdani said during a news conference on Shabbos.
The storm could produce the most snowfall the city has seen since 2021, when 14.8 inches hit the five boroughs.
The last time NYC faced a blizzard warning was in March 2017. The storm involves the convergence of energy from the Ohio Valley colliding with Gulf and ocean moisture, producing a storm that almost resembles a winter hurricane.
