White Plains Weather: Friday's Snow Ends Midday, Potential Nor'easter Looms Next Week

WHITE PLAINS, NY — Friday’s snow was a little slow in materializing, but it did finally arrive. And before you know it, it will be gone. Meanwhile all eyes turn toward Tuesday into Wednesday where a significant nor’easter may lead to a serious snow accumulation.

But there is a weekend in between — and it's going to be cold, forecasters say. As in, below freezing.

But, how quickly the storm strengthens and where it tracks will determine how much snow, wind and coastal flooding we'll get, said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.
