The National Weather Service has issued a winter weather advisory for much of the tri-state area, effective from late Saturday evening into Sunday morning, marking the first significant snow of the 2025–26 season.

Light precipitation is expected to begin late Saturday night, turning into snow after 10 p.m. as temperatures drop below freezing. Forecasted snowfall totals vary by location, with Lakewood anticipated to receive 3–6 inches, New York City 2–4 inches, and Monsey and KJ areas 1–3 inches.

Officials advise residents to plan for slippery roads, limited visibility, and potential travel delays during the overnight and morning hours. Commuters are encouraged to monitor local advisories and adjust travel plans accordingly. Orthodox communities, which often have larger gatherings on Motzei Shabbos, are specifically advised to prepare for winter driving conditions and ensure safety measures are in place.
