When will snow start, and how long will it last? See hourly radar

With a winter storm set to hit the New York City area — along with nearly half of the United States — over the weekend, we’re getting a clearer picture on the timing of when we could see snow start to fall, and how long it could last.

Snow will move in near dawn on Sunday and will continue at full strength until the early evening, becoming heavy at times throughout the day. It will taper off to light scattered snow showers Sunday night and Monday morning before finally moving on by mid morning.

Light sleet or freezing rain could mix with the snow east and south of NYC early Sunday evening, which would keep snow totals a little lower and create big problems on the roads. That sleet/freezing rain line could creep up to near the city as well, which would impact snow totals.
