Snow, ice and rain impacting New York, New Jersey area all day

Snow and rainy weather will make for messy morning and evening commutes for New Yorkers on Tuesday.

The CBS News New York weather team has issued a First Alert Weather Day as the Tri-State Area will see a little bit of everything.

If you're north of the city, expect snow to start the day before gradually transitioning to a wintry mix and eventually rain. Meanwhile, for the city and communities to the south and east, it's shaping up to be mainly a cold, steady rain.

For the morning commute, conditions will depend on where you're traveling. Areas to the south and west will see pockets of snow and rain, so give yourself extra time. 

By lunchtime, the divide becomes clearer: Rain is more dominant in the southern half of the region, while steady snow hangs on for the northern tier. 

Heading into the evening commute, most locations will be dealing with rain, though the far northern suburbs may still see a mix of snow, ice and rain.  

What time is it going to rain?

CBS News New York Meteorologist Tony Sadiku said we will start to see the wintry mix at 8 a.m.

How many inches of snow Tuesday? 

What time is the lunar eclipse? 

The blood moon was visible in New York from 6:04 to 7:03 a.m. Tuesday. This is the only total lunar eclipse in 2025, and if you missed it, you'll have to wait until New Year's Eve 2028.
