NYC Preparing for Snow After Cold Month

After a frigid February, New York City is preparing to start March with a snowstorm, with 3 inches expected to fall late Sunday afternoon.

Early sunshine is expected to give way to increasing clouds over the course of the day, and light snow is expected to push into the area in the afternoon, leaving a dusting in New York City and more accumulation to the north. The precipitation is expected to change to a wintry mix and then to rain before midnight. The storm should move away by Monday morning.

The first workweek of March will start on a warmer note as highs most of the week climb into the 40s. On Wednesday, the mercury could flirt with the 50-degree mark as rain moves through the region.
