According to CBS News New York's Lonnie Quinn, New York City is preparing for a substantial warmup that will begin on Wednesday. Temperatures are anticipated to rise into the 40s, providing relief from the recent cold spell. While the warmup will bring milder conditions, there is a chance of minor snow events that could partially negate the effects of the warmer temperatures. In general, the change in weather patterns is predicted to lessen some of the difficulties brought on by the recent blizzard.
