NYC Weather: Hazardous Outlook Issued With Snow Back In Forecast

NEW YORK CITY — First the worst snow storm in five years hit. Then the polar vortex returned. Now, forecasters warn that Sunday could bring snow and potentially hazardous winter weather.

New York City is under a hazardous weather outlook for the weekend, according to the National Weather Service. The forecast doesn't quite predict a dire one-two punch of winter storms that Gov. Andrew Cuomo earlier warned could hit, but weather could get dicey.

"Low pressure will move off the coast during the second half of the weekend, and may come close enough to the area to bring an accumulating snowfall on Sunday," the outlook warns.

Weather during the daylight hours Friday won't be wintry, but it will be wet. Forecasters predict rain and fog in the morning and a high of 41 degrees.

Saturday will be sunny, if a little windy, according to the forecast. But during the night snow could arrive and carry on into Sunday, which has a 50 percent chance of snow.
