The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts a 50 percent chance of snow Sunday afternoon and night while the Weather Channel predicts an 80 percent chance of snow hitting the city on Sunday. Snow accumulation could reach up to four inches, according to AccuWeather.

A blast of winter weather will bring snow and bitter cold to New York City and the Tri-State over the next few days.

Big changes are coming over the weekend. A front will usher in our coldest weather in 2 years, with below-zero wind chills and the potential for some snow. Expect some rain Saturday afternoon followed by a chance for snow later Sunday as the bitter cold arrives.

If the storm shifts yet again, there is the chance that the city could see up to 9 inches of snow or nothing more than an inch.

Any rain or snow that does come down this weekend will help alleviate the precipitation deficit in New York City.
