NYC area blizzard warning cancelled; snow, sleet to continue

NEW YORK (AP) — The National Weather Service has cancelled its blizzard warning for the metropolitan New York City area.

A winter weather advisory is in effect for the region until 8 p.m. Tuesday.

A blizzard warning is in effect for a region that includes northern Westchester County. However, the new forecast calls for between 4 to 8 inches in New York City and 6 to 8 inches in southern Westchester County.

Meteorologist Joe Pollina says the storm tracked closer to the coast than expected. That introduced warmer air into the region, changing the snow into a "wintry mix" in the metropolitan area.

He says forecasters started noticing the change early Tuesday morning.
