"East Coast Braces for Weekend Snowstorm: What to Expect in NYC and Maryland"

New York City is expected to see the end of its 688-day snow drought this weekend as a winter storm is forecasted to bring over an inch of snow starting Saturday night. AccuWeather Meteorologist Alex DaSilva notes the potential for several inches of snow, although exact totals are uncertain due to the proximity of warm ocean water. The storm may start with snow, switch to rain, and then back to snow, with the possibility of slush accumulation on roads. Gusty winds are expected but not likely to cause widespread power outages. The storm is predicted to taper off by Sunday afternoon, and another system could bring more precipitation around January 9th and 10th.
