As a storm bringing rain to parts of the Southeast moves offshore, it is expected to interact with colder air across parts of the Northeast, likely producing light snowfall across New York and Pennsylvania through Sunday night.
The New York office of the National Weather Service said snowfall totals of one to two inches were likely, with isolated amounts of up to three inches.
These amounts are expected across New York City, northeastern New Jersey and much of Long Island. Less than an inch is expected elsewhere.
The office said snow- and slush-covered roads could create hazardous travel conditions late Sunday night into Monday morning.
The New Jersey Department of Transportation urged residents on Sunday to use caution as central New Jersey “was expected to get the heaviest amount” of snow.
On social media, the winter-weary lamented the prospect of more snow in the New York metro area.
“I’ve had enough snow,” Danny Randazzo, a mail carrier on Long Island, wrote on Facebook.
“I’m tired of the snow,” he added in an interview on Sunday. “It’s taking a toll on us.”
Forecasters said that uncertainty about the winter weather remained high, largely because of the unpredictability of its path.
A northerly route could lead to widespread snowfall, while a more southerly track could limit snowfall totals or result in no snow at all.
In parts of Pennsylvania, a mix of rain, sleet and snow is expected.
Forecasters at the Weather Service office in Mount Holly, N.J., said that light snow accumulations of one to two inches were possible, particularly along and north of the I-195 and Pennsylvania Turnpike corridors.
Southern Pennsylvania, southern New Jersey and the Delmarva Peninsula are expected to receive mainly rain, or a mix of rain and snow.
Donna DeMarinis, 41, said that if she does not have to venture outside her home in Wayne County in the Poconos in Pennsylvania, she will not.
“The cleanup has been a pain, because I have to get my daughter to the bus stop if there is school,” said DeMarinis, whose daughter is 5. She also has a 3-year-old son.
“We got two feet of snow a couple of weeks ago, and we haven’t moved,” she said.
“It is what it is, but bring on the summer,” she added.
