Blizzard warnings issued for New York City, New Jersey, Connecticut as storm threatens East Coast

  • On Saturday, the National Weather Service issued blizzard warnings covering New York City, Long Island, southern Connecticut, coastal New Jersey and Delaware from 6 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday.
  • Forecasters say the nor'easter will strengthen rapidly offshore, producing heavy snowfall rates as forecast models shifted closer to the coast, raising confidence in a more intense storm.
  • Forecast details show heavy snow, gusts up to 55 mph, and over 2,500 cancellations, with New York City expecting 13–18 inches of snow and whiteout conditions.
  • Officials urged emergency-only travel; Mayor Zohran Mamdani advised residents to 'stay off the roads unless absolutely necessary' and said, 'If you can stay home, stay home,' as city agencies mobilize salt spreaders and snow plows on Saturday.
  • For context, New York City hasn't seen a blizzard warning like this in nearly a decade, arriving after five consecutive snowy weekends and 22.3 inches of seasonal snowfall, threatening Monday's school return.
