About 1-3 inches of snow was projected for the five boroughs, with more snow falling south of the city while northern suburbs remained dry.

This particular storm does not have as much rain for as many areas. Ocean and Monmouth counties see plain rain after initial sleet and snow. New York City is more likely to hold onto sleet and snow longer than Thursday morning's storm, ending as mostly snow Sunday morning.

Goodman explained that as New York City rests on the northern fringe of this winter system, areas further south are more likely to see elevated snowfall amounts. As of Tuesday morning, Staten Island is forecast to receive 2 to 3 inches of accumulation from this storm, according to Goodman.
