NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) -- Just a day after a tornado touched down in New Jersey, a winter storm will bring a mix of rain, sleet and snow to the New York City area on Wednesday.
The blast of nasty weather will move in ahead of the evening commute, starting as a wintry mix before changing over to mostly rain, according to AccuWeather.
The five boroughs and coastal suburbs may see a couple hours of the wintry mix before the changeover around 3 p.m. or 4 p.m. Suburbs further north could hang onto the mix for an additional hour or two.
