A mini nor'easter is bringing snow and rain to the NYC area. Here's when the weather will clear.
A mini nor'easter centered off the Jersey Shore brought a mix of snow and rain to the New York City area Saturday, making it feel more like winter than mid-April.
The coastal low's mixed bag of precipitation has been impacting the Tri-State Area since Friday.
Winter weather and flood advisories
A Coastal Flood Statement was issued on the south shores of Nassau and Suffolk counties on Long Island, as well as the waterfronts of Staten Island in New York City, and Union, Essex and Hudson counties in New Jersey for Saturday's high-tide cycles.
A Coastal Flood Advisory is in effect for Ocean County from 7 p.m. Saturday through 1 a.m. Sunday.
How much snow?
Most areas have gotten rain, totaling over two inches in some locations, while New Jersey received up to six inches of snow in some spots.
A cold, wet and windy weekend
Another effect of the coastal low being nearby will be the chance of some minor coastal flooding, especially along the south shore of Long Island, where up to one foot of inundation may occur.
A slight chance of additional showers lasts through early Sunday morning, especially for eastern Long Island. Then, as the coastal low departs, the rest of Sunday should present improving conditions, with clearing skies and temperatures returning to near normal levels in the upper 50s to low 60s.
