New Winter Weather Forecast for New York City

By Y.M. Lowy

Forecasters have released predictions for New York City’s weather from November through January. The outlook shows that it’s uncertain exactly how much snow or rain the city will get this winter. There is roughly a 50/50 chance for above- or below-average precipitation, meaning New York could see a snowier winter or a milder one with less snow and rain.

By comparison, other parts of the country, such as the Pacific Northwest and the Upper Midwest, are more likely to see heavier-than-normal precipitation.

Temperatures are expected to be close to normal for this time of year. 

AccuWeather predicts that New York City will receive between 17 and 21 inches of snow this winter. This is below the historical average of 29.8 inches, but above last winter’s total of 12.9 inches. While it may not reach record levels, the snowfall is expected to be noticeable compared with last year.
