A fast moving storm dubbed the Alberta Clipper will push freezing air into the US Northeast and mid-Atlantic states Friday, dropping snow on New York City before turning to rain in Washington, D.C.

New York City and surrounding areas could see 4 to 8 inches of snow from Friday through Saturday afternoon, with hazardous conditions potentially impacting Friday evening commutes, according to the National Weather Service. This precipitation will turn to rain as the clipper moves south.
