A nasty winter storm is coming to the Big Apple — and will hit just in time for Tuesday’s morning commute.
The storm moving in from the south could dump between 1 and 3 inches of snow on the city Tuesday, forecasts show.
Snowflakes are predicted to start falling between 5 and 6 a.m. and last through the morning before transitioning over to sleet between the hours of 10 a.m. and noon, AccuWeather meteorologist Alyson Hoegg told The Post on Monday.
By the evening commute, it will turn entirely into rain.
“It’s a heavy, wet snow … it’s not going to be that fluffy, dry snow,” Hoegg said, warning that there will be “wet roads through the morning commute.”
Hoegg added, “When we see the transition over to sleet, that sleet storm will last for several hours, so that will add to that heavy, wet nature.”
A winter weather advisory has been issued for New York City and parts of Long Island from 6 a.m. Tuesday until midnight.
Areas north of the Big Apple like Westchester, Rockland and Orange counties could expect to see 3 inches of snow, according to Hoegg.
The temperature will remain around 35 degrees in the city Tuesday.
Looking ahead into the week, Hoegg said, “There is some relief in sight and a chance for warmer air,” as the mercury is forecast to rise into the 40s on Wednesday.
However, “during the day Wednesday it’s going to be windy,” said Hoegg, noting that wind gusts of between 35 and 40 miles per hour are expected.
Thursday “will be a decent day to be outside,” the meteorologist said. The high temperature is forecast at 48 degrees.
By Friday, temperatures are predicted to break 50 degrees.
