The path and strength of a prolonged low-pressure system moving south of the area on Friday will significantly influence the positioning and duration of snow bands.
The NWS highlights that a low-pressure system nearer to the coast may bring increased snowfall to the New York metro region, whereas a track farther from the coast could result in minimal to no accumulation.
