Snow will continue through the morning hours of Sunday, ending around 1 p.m., with light flurries continuing for a few hours afterwards. The snow will linger longer for the Jersey Shore and Eastern Long Island, not completely ending till around 4 p.m. for those locales.

Total storm accumulations look to be around 1-2 inches for the city and immediate surrounding areas, while further north and west, lighter amounts on the order of a trace – 2 inches are likely. Eastern and southern portions of the region are likely to see the highest totals, especially in counties such as Ocean and Suffolk, where up to 3 inches cannot be ruled out.

Skies will remain mostly cloudy. High 34.
