NYC Weather: Upcoming Snow Now Paired With Rain

NEW YORK CITY — Any chance of accumulating snow in New York City in the forecast looks threatened to be quickly washed away.

Morning snow could give way to a mix of rain and snow Wednesday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.

"A chance of snow before 1pm, then a chance of rain and snow," the forecast states.

Forecasters warned an approaching storm — which was blowing across the Great Lakes on Tuesday — threatened to give New York City and the tri-state region its first accumulating snow this season.

But those chances appeared diminished as of Tuesday morning, forecasters said.

"While scattered rain and snow showers remain possible, the best chances will be across eastern areas of LI and CT," the National Weather Service's New York office tweeted.

The threat for accumulating snowfall tomorrow has trended downward.
