A winter storm is headed for New York City on Tuesday — and could dump between 1 and 3 inches of snow on the Big Apple, forecasts show.
Flakes are predicted to start flying ahead of sunrise Tuesday before picking up through the morning and then transitioning to a mix of snow, ice and rain in mid- to late morning, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Paul Walker told The Post on Monday.
“It’s going to be a wet snow because of this situation,” Walker said.
He noted that while “we’re not looking at a big snowstorm,” the precipitation coupled with cold temperatures could make things “icy.”
“It’ll make for a slippery commute tomorrow morning,” explained Walker.
The storm, which is moving in from the Ohio Valley, is expected to drop between 1 and 3 inches of snow in and around the city and between 3 and 6 inches north and west of the Big Apple, according to Walker.
“The snow will be winding down late tomorrow night,” said Walker. “Maybe a few flurries still around Wednesday morning.”
