The timeframe for the storm is overnight Thursday, Jan. 6, into Friday, Jan. 7.

A general 2 to 4 inches of accumulation is now expected, including in areas as far south as New York City and Long Island, the National Weather Service said in a Hazardous Weather Outlook Statement released late Wednesday afternoon, Friday, Jan. 5.

"The snowfall is expected to impact the Friday morning commute," the statement said.

Much of the region could see as much as 6 inches of snowfall, according to AccuWeather. (See the first image above.)
