Winter storm monitoring has been provided for western and southern New Jersey starting Wednesday morning. Check out updates from the National Weather Service here.
For New York City, it will rain a little on Monday morning or shortly after, and the cold breeze in the afternoon will mix with the wet snowfall.
It will be mainly wet snow in the northern and western heights of the city, with a coating of one inch of silt, especially in the northwest of I-287.
Areas of Poconos and Gatskills can get an inch or two before the wind blows at sunset.
A cold, dry air mass will attach itself to the Northeast on Tuesday, setting the stage for what would become a major mid-winter storm.
The system will move toward the beach with snow on Wednesday afternoon, sometimes continuing to be heavy overnight (may even last Thursday morning).
As the storm intensifies along the coast, it will be windy late Wednesday with winds of up to 40 mph.
It can throw snow, move, reduce visibility, and cause treacherous travel conditions.

A total of 6 “-10” of snow is possible on the I-95 sidewalk, including New York City, with the maximum amount of snow fluff due to the cooler temperatures in the north and west.
Any deviation in the storm path may cause some compounding problems in the south and east of the city, where the bulk may be kept.
This is still the beginning of the game, so this forecast is subject to change in the coming days as we get a clearer picture of how this storm will develop.
