Accumulating snow may be possible across much of the region, with a widespread early snowfall map of 3 to 6 inches expected in our area, including New York City.
The highest accumulations could come north and west of the city, with Orange, Sullivan, Ulster, Pike counties and parts of northwestern New Jersey likely to reach more than six inches.
There may be some mixing across central and southern New Jersey, including areas south of I-95, where totals will be lower because there will not be fresh snow.
Eventually, snow could turn into a mix in the city by Saturday morning when the storm begins to taper off, but travel could still be risky.
