A frosty mix of snow and rain is expected to coat the New York City area later this week as a powerful storm system continues to move across the country.

“There will be mixed precipitation [in New York] at some points over the course of Thursday into the first few hours of Friday,” FOX Weather meteorologist Christopher Tate told The Post on Tuesday morning. 

“The division between rain and snow is going to be really close to New York City itself,” he continued. “Somebody in the New York metro area will see snow. Here in the city, I think it will be predominantly rain.”

Higher elevations in the region can expect up to 6 inches of snow before the system ushers in a dry but chilly weekend cold front.

“Sunday, we’ll have a hard time getting out of the 30s,” Tate said.

The storm’s New York arrival is the final stop of a long-duration event that began in Alaska before sweeping down the West Coast.

“[The storm] brought rain and snow to the Pacific Northwest. It cut across the Midwest,” Tate said. 

News of the storm comes as severe weather batters parts of the central US, with parts of South Dakota, Nebraska, Iowa and Minnesota experiencing heavy snow and wind.

In a message shared Monday, the South Dakota Department of Public Safety called the conditions a “ ‘we are not kidding’ kind of storm.’”
