Snow, wintry mix on the way for Northeast

New York City, which has not seen 1 inch of snow in a single day since Feb. 13, 2022, is not expected to receive much in the way of snow accumulation.

A winter storm is moving through the Southern Plains on Friday with heavy rain and snow falling from Texas to Kansas. The storm will continue to move east with a snowy, rainy mix on the way for the Northeast this weekend.

Fifteen states are on alert for winter weather from Georgia to Maine.

The storm will continue to move east Friday with snow and ice alerts issued from New Mexico to Arkansas. Locally, some areas there could see a couple of inches of snow on top of icy glaze.

Farther south, the storm will produce thunderstorms with heavy rain, gusty winds and even a small threat for tornadoes from Texas to the Florida Panhandle.

Localized flooding is possible in urban areas such as Houston and New Orleans.
