Winter is back and NY could get a foot of snow Friday. See estimated inch counts
New York gets all four seasons. Sometimes two or three happen in the same week.
Spring temperatures in the 50s and 60s and flood watches will give way to a storm set to deliver snow across the country and move through New York state early Friday morning.
A wave of cold air will plummet temperatures between 20-30 degrees in 24 hours from Wednesday to Thursday.
The National Weather Service has upgraded much of the state to a winter storm warning Thursday evening to Friday evening. The Mohawk Valley, Catskills, Hudson Valley, Adirondacks, much of the Souther Tier, and central New York fall under the storm warning. Those regions are expected to have total snowfall of 6 to 12 inches, making the Friday morning commute difficult. Snowfall rates could exceed 1 or 2 inches per hour at times.
A winter weather advisory has been issued by the NWS for western New York, including Rochester and Buffalo. Total snow accumulations of 3 to 6 inches and up to one-tenth of an inch of ice are predicted.
New York City could receive a mix of rain, sleet and freezing rain.
The nation is getting hit with back-to-back storms. The first system brought bitter cold and snow to the Midwest and Mississippi Valley.
