STATEN ISLAND, N.Y. -- The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for New York City, effective from 1 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 19, until 4 a.m. on Monday, Jan. 20.

After a looming snowstorm hits the Tri-State Area on Sunday, arctic air is expected to chill New York City and the surrounding areas. According to a post on the National Weather Service’s X account, the National Weather Service is warning that there might be significant impacts on infrastructure and public health.

Arctic air is set to bring bone-chilling temperatures across much of the U.S. in the coming days, making for a far colder-than-average Inauguration Day. How cold will it get?

The National Weather Service (NWS) predicts a 50 percent chance of snow Sunday afternoon and night while the Weather Channel predicts an 80 percent chance of snow hitting the city on Sunday. Snow accumulation could reach up to four inches, according to AccuWeather.

A brutal polar vortex is set to bury the Big Apple in snow Sunday and then deliver deadly single-digit temperatures that will feel like 15 degrees below zero.

New York City emergency officials have issued a “Cold Weather Alert” amid a stretch of below-freezing wind chills that will only get colder into next week. The coldest air of the season so far will crash into the tri-state on starting early next week with “feels like” temperatures Tuesday dropping as low as -7 degrees.

After days of balmy weather, City is slated to get buried in snow and then hit with an arctic blast expected to unleash a potentially life-threatening chill.

Some parts of the region could see up to 6 inches of snow over the holiday weekend, the National Weather Service said.

According to the National Weather Service, there's a 30% chance of snow showers after 4 p.m. Thursday. Skies will be mostly cloudy, with a high near 33. Snow should enter New York City around 7 p.m. and be out of the area between 11 p.m. and midnight.

Most of the tri-state was scheduled to be under a winter storm warning by the afternoon, when conditions pick up and heavy snow bands could drop as much as an inch of snow per hour. For some, it’ll be the most snow in nearly three years.

Here's a detailed forecast and timeline of when NYC will see snow on Sunday, how many inches to expect and what's forecast to happen when a polar vortex sweeps the area next week:
