Dangerous Cold and Winter Storm Briefing

  • Snowfall amounts reduced slightly, with highest reductions south and east of the I-95 corridor as confidence increases in mixing occurring. Impacts are unchanged as the combination of snow/sleet/freezing
    rain will bring major disruptions to the area.  Widespread snow and sleet totals ranging from 4″ to 8″ in southern zones.  Snowfall rates near 1-2″ per hour likely (60-80%) during the daytime period Sunday.

  • High confidence in widespread MAJOR impacts expected for most of the region. 
  • Heavy snow and some ice accumulation will make travel dangerous or impossible.  Expect widespread road closures and significant delays on major interstates and highways.

New Year’s Eve forecast calls for colder air in the Northeast, rain returns to the West

AccuWeather® Global Weather Center – Dec. 29, 2025 – People planning to celebrate the new year at outdoor events should plan for colder air in the Northeast, while families heading to the parade and the bowl game in Southern California should prepare for rain.


“The stormy stretch after Christmas Day is finally winding down, just in time to celebrate the new year. Snow showers and some periods of heavier snow could create some travel trouble across the Great Lakes and Northeast on New Year’s Eve. While there still will be pockets of poor travel through New Year’s Day, much of the country will have good travel conditions following the back-to-back winter storms that swept through parts of the Midwest and Northeast,” AccuWeather® Meteorologist Elizabeth Danco said.


New York City Forecast



AccuWeather® expert meteorologists say there could be more than confetti in the air at the New Year’s Eve ball drop in New York City this year.  

“People heading out to the ball drop or other outdoor celebrations should bundle up. Flurries could be flying in Times Square before the ball drops,” Danco said. “The AccuWeather RealFeel Temperature before midnight will drop into the teens. Make sure you have a winter coat, hat, gloves and a scarf. Winds could gust around 15 mph.”

The forecast to ring in 2026 in New York City is drastically different from last year’s celebration. 

“It will feel roughly 20 to 30 degrees colder outside compared to last year, but at least everyone should stay much drier. Showers and thunderstorms soaked revelers in New York City last year,” Danco said
