NYC Weather: Snow Could Return During Wet Weekend

NEW YORK CITY — New Yorkers sick of dodging raindrops could be swerving between snowflakes as well this weekend.

A chance of snow returns to New York City's forecast Sunday after a wet and windy Saturday, according to the National Weather Service's forecast.

"Rain likely before 2pm, then scattered rain and snow showers," the forecast for Sunday states.

Even if the snow doesn't materialize, city dwellers likely will see their weekend plans wash away in rain.

Saturday carries a 70 percent chance of rain — mainly after 2 p.m. — which will increase to 100 percent during the evening hours, the forecast states.

Breezy conditions will develop that night, with wind gusts up to 31 mph, according to the forecast.

"New precipitation amounts between three quarters and one inch possible," the forecast states.

Those 30-mph wind gusts will continue into Sunday, along with a 70 percent of precipitation, according to the forecast.

The good news for New Yorkers is that whatever snow falls is unlikely to require them to break out shovels.

"Little or no snow accumulation expected," the forecast states.
