Live weather coverage from FOX Weather. A developing storm system could bring the first meaningful winter weather of the season to the New York City area early next week, but the exact impacts depend on where a potential nor’easter decides to track. Forecasters say snow, a mix, or plain rain are all possible for NYC depending on how the storm develops.

NEW YORK - Prepare for a potentially wet and messy Tuesday commute as NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM) has activated the city's Flash Flood Plan.

Residents are encouraged to report clogged catch basins to 311 if it's safe to do so.
