The Northeast is bracing for another round of wintry weather as a cold front approaches the region, threatening to bring snow showers to the Adirondacks and chilly rain to New York City by the end of the week. Accuweather Senior Meteorologist Carl Erickson warns that while there won't be a significant snow event, the highest terrain in upstate New York could see some light snow showers as the front settles in.

Why it matters

New York has already been pummeled by relentless snowstorms this winter, including Winter Storm Fern which buried parts of the city in 1-2 feet of snow and claimed 28 lives nationwide. This latest bout of wintry weather is a reminder that Mother Nature isn't done with the region just yet.

The details

According to Erickson, the cold front will move through the New York City area late Friday into Friday night, bringing chilly rain. Temperatures are expected to drop from the low 50s to the mid-40s, and parts of the Adirondacks that were already seeing snow on Sunday could get additional light snow showers as the front passes.

  • The cold front will move through the New York City area late Friday into Friday night.
  • Temperatures are expected to drop from the low 50s to the mid-40s on Saturday.

What they’re saying

“You're going to have a cold front coming on through that may produce some showers across the New York City area late Friday into Friday night, and then it does cool down as the breezes pick up on Saturday.”

— Carl Erickson, Accuweather Senior Meteorologist

What’s next

Residents in the Adirondacks and New York City should monitor the weather forecasts closely as the cold front approaches to prepare for potential snow showers and chilly rain.

The takeaway

While this latest round of wintry weather won't be as severe as the back-to-back snowstorms that pummeled the region earlier this winter, it serves as a reminder that Mother Nature still has a few tricks up her sleeve before spring fully arrives in New York.
