Snow is heading to NYC before Christmas. Tri-State Area map shows how many inches could fall.
Snow and rain will return to the New York City area this week ahead of Christmas.
Our First Alert Weather Team has issued a First Alert Weather Day for Tuesday, as the winter weather could cause some travel problems.
Winter begins Sunday
As winter officially started on Sunday morning, winds picked up once again, gusting between 20-30 mph throughout the day.
Due to the persistent winds, highs in the mid 40s will feel more like 30s. Initially, skies won’t be so clear, but as the day wears on, sunshine will gradually increase.

Snow totals late Monday into Tuesday
Looking ahead, our next First Alert Weather Day is on Tuesday. A minor system is anticipated to bring another round of wintry weather to the region late Monday night into Tuesday morning.
With cold air still in place, accumulating snowfall is likely for many areas before a changeover to rain occurs.

Travel delays are probable, since this little storm will coincide with the very busy holiday travel period.
Snow totals, on average, will range from 1-3 inches, but areas northwest of New York City could get up to 4 inches.
