NYC Weather: Here's When The City Might See Snow Thursday

NEW YORK, NY — New Yorkers who just got used to clear sidewalks after Monday's snowfall may see a light dusting cover them by the end of the day. Some snow showers are expected throughout the city Thursday, and again on Friday.

Forecasters originally predicted snow might fall in the early afternoon Thursday have moved up the chance of showers to starting as early as 11 a.m., or 10 a.m. in some of the outer boroughs, according to the National Weather Service.

The day will be slightly warmer, though, than Wednesday's frigid temperatures. Highs are expected in the low 30s.

On Friday, snow returns to the forecast. Light snow is expected in the afternoon and the evening, but temperatures will start to rise from where they were earlier in the week for a somewhat warmer weekend. Highs will be in the upper 30s Friday and reach the low 40s for a sunny Saturday.
