NEW YORK (WABC) — While unseasonably warm conditions this weekend may make snow seem unlikely, an approaching winter storm could blanket part of the Tri-State before Valentine’s Day.
Chief Meteorologist Lee Goldberg has been talking about a flip back to a colder weather pattern around the middle of February, and that’s going to happen as we head into next week.

Record highs are possible for the Northeast and Mid-Atlantic on Saturday as temperatures reach the mid to upper 50s and even 60s and 70s. Cooler air will start to move in by Sunday, although it will remain mild.
A storm in the South will then bring a mix of precipitation through the Northeast from Monday into Tuesday.
Warmer air will mean rain to start, but cold air wrapping around the storm could bring snow across much of the Tri-State on the backside.
Tuesday morning will likely be a messy commute.
The snowfall accumulation from the storm depends on whether the second part of the storm can tap enough cold air.
Here’s the early call from Lee and AccuWeather:
Spots north and west of the city have the best chance for accumulating snow, AccuWeather says.
