- - Official forecasts call for roughly 13–18 inches across the five boroughs with locally higher amounts, and snowfall rates could top 2 inches per hour during the peak.
- - Light snow is expected Sunday morning before the coastal low strengthens offshore, with the heaviest snow and whiteout conditions most likely Sunday night into Monday morning.
- - Sustained winds of 25–35 mph with gusts of 40–60 mph are expected to make travel dangerous or impossible and could bring scattered power outages from downed limbs.
- - Coastal flood watches are in effect for parts of New York City and nearby shores with minor to moderate flooding possible during high tides, as city agencies and utilities mobilize and residents are urged to avoid nonessential travel.
