NEW YORK – A developing storm system could bring the first meaningful winter weather of the season to the New York City area early next week, but the exact impacts depend on where a potential nor’easter decides to track.
FOX Weather meteorologists say snow, a mix or plain rain are all possible for NYC depending on how the storm develops.
What we know:
Meteorologists with FOX Weather are tracking a low-pressure system developing in the western U.S. that will move east over the next several days.
The energy from that system will spread snow across the Rockies and High Plains this weekend before shifting into the Midwest on Monday, where light snow and a wintry mix could create travel issues.

By Tuesday into Wednesday, the system may deepen into a nor’easter off the East Coast. If that happens, heavier snow could develop along the I-95 corridor, including Philadelphia, New York City and Washington, D.C.
Forecasters say the Northeast could see heavier snow if the low tracks close to the coast, with the potential for wintry mix or rain if warmer ocean air is pulled inland.
What we don’t know:
The storm track remains highly uncertain.
- If the storm hugs the coast: Heavier snow could fall along I-95, including NYC.
- If it shifts west: Warmer coastal air could change NYC’s snow to rain.
- If it shifts east: NYC could see lighter snow and gusty winds, with heavier snow staying offshore.
Meteorologists say the next few days will be critical in determining which scenario plays out.
What’s next:
Forecasters will be closely watching the storm’s development and track over the weekend. New Yorkers may see clearer projections from late Sunday into Monday as computer models come into better agreement.
Travelers returning from Thanksgiving or heading back to work and school may face impacts depending on timing and precipitation type.
