New York, NY – A powerful winter storm will impact the New York and Connecticut area starting late Saturday and continuing into Sunday. Snowfall will intensify overnight, bringing significant accumulation and hazardous travel conditions.

The National Weather Service (NWS) has issued winter storm warnings and advisories for much of the region. Snow totals could reach 6 to 12 inches, with the heaviest accumulation in northern New Jersey, southern Connecticut, and parts of New York. Coastal areas may see a wintry mix of sleet and freezing rain.

Road conditions will deteriorate quickly as snow intensifies Saturday night. Strong winds could create low visibility and drifting snow. Power outages are possible due to heavy, wet snow and ice accumulation.

Residents should prepare for difficult travel and potential delays. Officials urge people to stay off the roads unless necessary. Those traveling should monitor weather updates and allow extra time.

The storm is expected to taper off by early Sunday morning, but lingering flurries and icy conditions may persist.
