Nor'easter to bring significant snowfall this weekend
A significant winter storm, a classic nor'easter, is forecasted to bring 5 to 12 inches of snow to the New York City area this weekend. Originating from a low-pressure system over California, the storm is expected to intensify off the coast of North Carolina before moving into the Atlantic. This will bring light to moderate snow and gusty northeast winds to the tri-state area, starting Sunday afternoon. Weather models now predict the storm will closely follow the coastline, aligning with earlier forecasts of significant snowfall.
