More snow is on track for New York City — with slick roads likely to greet commuters early Monday.

A brief burst of light snow is expected to develop late Sunday night and continue into early Monday along the I-95 corridor, including the city, Long Island and parts of northeast New Jersey.

Fox Weather forecasters say most areas will see about 1 to 2 inches of snow, with some neighborhoods possibly picking up just a dusting.

New York City is likely to see around an inch as will the east end of Long Island.

Temperatures are expected to fall into the upper 20s and lower 30s overnight — marginal, but cold enough for some accumulation on untreated roads and grassy surfaces.

Forecasters caution that snow- and slush-covered roads could make for hazardous travel late Sunday night and into the Monday morning commute on Presidents Day.

The snow is expected to taper off early Monday as the coastal low deepens and exits the Northeast. Sunshine should return by Monday afternoon.

Any accumulation likely won’t stick around for long.

Highs are forecast to rebound into the 40s Monday afternoon, continuing into Tuesday and Wednesday, helping melt leftover snow and ice.

By Tuesday, temperatures are expected to climb to around the upper 40s with partial sunshine.

Milder weather in the 40s is projected through much of the week, though additional rain chances return Wednesday and again Friday.

For now, Fox Weather says this looks like a minor, short-lived event — but New Yorkers should plan for a few slick hours overnight Sunday into early Monday.
