(NEW YORK) — A major winter snowstorm is hitting the northeastern United States on Tuesday and could wreak havoc on roadways from New York City to Boston.<\/p>\n

The fast-moving storm is expected to last only from Tuesday morning to Tuesday afternoon, but it could bring up to 1 foot of snow to parts of the Northeast.<\/p>\n

As the nor\u2019easter leaves Tuesday, cold air is moving in, turning the snow on the roads into ice.<\/p>\n

Early Wednesday morning, temperatures will plummet to about 25 degrees in New York and Philadelphia and 22 degrees in Boston.<\/p>\n

During the day, temperatures will rise to the 30s and 40s this week, and sunshine will help melt Tuesday’s snow.<\/p>\n

Another round of winter weather is possible in New England by the end of the week.<\/p>\n

\n50 million Americans on alert for heavy snow<\/strong><\/p>\n

Some 50 million Americans are on alert for heavy snow in the northeastern United States on Tuesday, as a storm is forecast to hit the region in the morning hours before exiting by the afternoon.<\/p>\n

It’s the first time in two years that the National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for New York City.<\/p>\n

Rain began changing to snow early Tuesday and much of New York City was already under snow by 5 a.m. ET. The freezing line hadn’t quite made it to Philadelphia at that time but was expected to soon.<\/p>\n

Since this is a wet snow falling into temperatures that are generally at or above freezing, the initial accumulation on the ground will melt before it starts to stick.<\/p>\n

Snowfall rates are expected to be moderate, from 1 to 2 inches per hour, with heavier bands mixed in at times.<\/p>\n

Winds are forecast to gust 20 to 40 miles per hour, blowing the snow and reducing visibility. However, due to the wet nature of the snow, blizzard-like conditions were generally not expected and should only be short-lived if they occur at all.<\/p>\n

Coastal flooding was also expected to be an issue from Washington, D.C., to Delaware to New Jersey and Long Island and then from Cape Cod to Boston and Portland.<\/p>\n

Feb 13, 4:00 AM
\nNew York City, Boston close schools<\/strong><\/p>\n

New York City’s public schools, the largest system in the country, will be closed Tuesday, with classes moving to remote learning, Mayor Eric Adams announced.<\/p>\n

This marks the first time in two years that New York City has been under a winter storm watch.<\/p>\n

Boston Public Schools will also be closed Tuesday.<\/p>\n
