What to Know
- After more chilly temperatures Thursday, a quick-moving system will roll through during the evening hours, enough for some light snow that night
- It won't be much, less than an inch for areas north of the city, in the Hudson Valley and Connecticut
- After a mostly sunny and clear Friday, there is another chance for snow on Saturday, which will be more widespread than Thursday night, but still will only bring light amounts for most
So, who's ready for more snow?
Don't worry, Thursday night's snow won't be as bad as Tuesday's storm that dumped nearly a foot of snow in some areas. It won't even be close, in fact.
A quick-moving clipper will roll through during the evening hours, enough for some light snow that night. It won't be much, less than an inch for areas north of the city, in the Hudson Valley, northern New Jersey and Connecticut. Some parts of the north shore of Long Island could see flakes as well, where rain could mix in.

Some higher elevations may top an inch, but most spots through the Hudson Valley will just see a dusting. The rest of the New York City area can take a breath and relax — they won't be seeing almost any snow whatsoever from this system. Some areas further north could see up to 3 inches, but most won't get that much.
The system is expected to bring stronger winds to the area as well. Gusts of 30-40 mph start overnight and continue through Friday morning, the worst of which will be north and west of the city.
After a mostly sunny and clear Friday, there is another chance for snow that night into Saturday morning. With that system, the more significant totals will be south, with the Jersey Shore likely seeing a couple inches.
