Snow returns to NYC Sunday after a sunny Saturday. Get the First Alert Forecast.

While Saturday afternoon may have felt like spring across the Tri-State Area, with mild temperatures that reached the mid 50s, don't be fooled, as winter is not done with us just yet.

For Saturday night, some fog development is likely once again. Otherwise, expect increasing clouds with lows in the upper 20s to lower 30s.

Snow on Sunday

As an arctic front moves into the region during the morning hours of Sunday, some snow will accompany it. We are not expecting much snow with this quick moving system, generally between a trace to 1 inch on average. Northwestern locations may see as much as 3 inches though, especially at higher elevations.

Timing it out, from 7 a.m. to 1 p.m. appears to be the best window of opportunity to pick up any accumulations before skies clear out during the afternoon hours.

The New York City Department of Sanitation has issued a Winter Operations Advisory starting at 7 a.m. Sunday, which means hundreds of salt spreaders are ready to be deployed as needed.

DSNY said sanitation workers are still working 12-hour shifts to remove snow from last weekend's blizzard. Emergency snow shovelers will not be needed for the small amount of accumulation expected Sunday.

With an arctic airmass in place, highs in the 50s will be replaced withs highs in the mid to upper 30s, making it truly a weekend featuring two different seasons. 

Late next week into next weekend, real springtime warmth may settle upon the entire Eastern Seaboard.

Planetary alignment

A rare celestial occurrence is set to take place this weekend. For the first time this year, six planets will line up in parade fashion across the night sky.

The uncommon phenomenon — in which Mercury, Venus, Neptune, Jupiter, Saturn, and Uranus will be visible to the naked eye — comes as a treat to astronomers and stargazers alike.

For best viewing, look to the western sky one hour after sunset. If you miss that timeframe, no worries, the planets will still be there all night to see.

Thankfully, clear skies should be in place during the peak viewing times on Sunday.
