New Yorkers can expect to see their first snowflakes of the season Thursday.
The National Weather Service forecasts that snow and sleet will hit the area in the late morning and early afternoon, before switching over to mostly rain around 4 p.m.
Temperatures are expected to reach a high of 37 degrees, but the wind chill values will make it feel closer to between 20 and 25 degrees.
The snow accumulation will be minimal, totaling around 1 inch, per the National Weather Service.
“It will probably wash away, especially once the rain comes in,” Weather Service meteorologist Carlie Buccola said.
Alternate side parking will be suspended Thursday to facilitate snow removal, the city Department of Transportation said.
The NWS issued a freeze warning for the five boroughs from midnight through 9 a.m. Thursday. The overnight low is expected to drop to around 29 degrees.

If the low that impacts our area tracks farther east, snow amounts may be closer to the 10% chance amounts. pic.twitter.com/TzGds6pXpH
