The projected timing for the storm is from late Sunday night, Jan. 28 into early Monday afternoon, Jan. 29, according to the National Weather Service.

Areas farthest south, including New York City and Long Island, are expected to see a mix of snow, sleet, and rain.

"Enough snow may fall to bring a small accumulation on non-paved surfaces, especially to areas outside of the immediate New York City metro area," said AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore.
