The NWS predicted a high of minus 10 degrees Celsius on Friday and minus 11 degrees Celsius on Saturday in New York City. The low temperatures will be minus 15 degrees Celsius on Friday night and minus 14 degrees Celsius on Saturday night.
According to NWS's latest estimate, snow will develop over parts of the Southern and Northern Mid-Atlantic Coast from Wednesday evening to Thursday. Four to 6 inches of snow are expected to fall in the city of Boston in Massachusetts State.
