The lightest snowfall amounts in the Northeast will be east of the Twins Forks of Long Island, where snow will mix with rain, total snowfall is expected to be limited to just 3 to 4 inches, while Nassau County and New York City are expected to see about four times more than that amount. (See fifth image above.)
A Winter Storm Warning is in effect until 6 a.m. Tuesday, Feb. 2.
Snow will become lighter late Monday night and overnight into Tuesday. There will be light snow and snow showers at times during the day Tuesday, but further accumulation will be limited to about an inch or so.
The chance for snow showers will continue overnight before the storm finally pushes out before daybreak on Wednesday, Feb. 3, which will be mostly cloudy with a high temperature in the low to mid 30s.
