New York City is under a Winter Storm Watch for much of the day Tuesday as forecasters say the five boroughs are on the verge of its first legitimate snowstorm in three years.
Between 5 and 8 inches of snow, with heavier totals possible in some spots, are expected to fall across the city on Feb. 13, according to the National Weather Service. The heaviest snowfall will likely occur during the morning hours on Tuesday, with snowfall rates of potentially 1-2 inches per hour, accompanied by winds gusting up to 40 mph — making the rush hour commute rather dicey.
