New York City is preparing for a short spell of snow this weekend, which will be followed by a warming trend the following week. According to AccuWeather forecasts, the city and its surrounding suburbs may see a light dusting of snow from late Sunday morning to early afternoon. Early Sunday rain could turn into a mix of wintry conditions and flurries as temperatures drop into the teens. Despite the cold snap, significant snow accumulation is not expected. The city has experienced a severe winter, including nine consecutive days of sub-freezing temperatures and two major snowstorms. However, temperatures are expected to rise, reaching the mid-to-upper 40s°F (7-9°C) by Thursday and potentially climbing to 61°F (16°C) by next Sunday.
