• 7 a.m. – 2 p.m. Sunday: Snow intensity increases dramatically, with rates potentially reaching 1-2 inches per hour.
• 2 p.m. – 10 p.m. Sunday: Warmer air will create a mix of freezing rain and sleet in NYC, while the north and west will continue receiving heavy snow. Coastal areas, including Jersey Shore and Long Island’s South Shore, may experience plain rain.
• 10 p.m. Sunday – 7 a.m. Monday: Precipitation will transition back to snow for the entire Tri-State Area, but the storm will begin to subside.
