New York City and the surrounding region are bracing for a fast-moving winter storm expected to bring hazardous travel conditions and significant snowfall beginning late Friday, threatening post-holiday travel and weekend plans across the metropolitan area.

Forecasters warned Thursday that New York City could see between 4 to 8 inches of snow by early Saturday afternoon, with a “reasonable worst-case scenario” of up to 10 inches still possible as the storm tracks through the Northeast.

A winter storm watch is scheduled to take effect at 4 p.m. Friday for New York City, northeast New Jersey, the lower Hudson Valley and Long Island, according to the National Weather Service. The watch is set to remain in place until 1 p.m. Saturday.
