Monday morning: Expect snow or a rain-snow mix during the morning commute. The precipitation is forecast to gradually end in the morning, according to the National Weather Service.
How much will it snow in NYC?
Like many of the storms earlier this winter, the weekend storm will produce a mix of rain and snow, making it incredibly difficult to predict how much snow will accumulate, the FOX Forecast Center said.
Based on recent trends in the computer forecast models, the best chances for seeing snow will be over the interior Northeast, north and west of the New York-to-Washington Interstate 95 corridor.
What areas will see the most snow?
The FOX Forecast Center said it's too early to discuss specific amounts, but don't expect a blockbuster storm with huge snow totals.

However, minor shifts in the overall storm track could result in significant changes in the precipitation type at a given location.
Anyone in the Northeast should watch the upcoming forecast closely as this system evolves with time. Travel could be impacted late Sunday and Monday throughout the regions.
Wet finish to the week before weekend storm
Before the weekend storm, periods of rain will continue to dampen parts of the Northeast through Friday.

"I just don't like this overall look for the Northeast," FOX Weather Meteorologist Stephen Morgan said. "We're in late January, early February, and it looks to be a very rainy signal."
