NEW YORK (1010 WINS) -- New York City and the surrounding area could see another 6 inches of snow on Sunday after last week's major snowstorm.
The winter storm warning is in effect until 9 p.m. Sunday. It covers all of New York City, as well as Long Island, part of Westchester, a swath of northern New Jersey and southwestern Connecticut.
The storm won't rival last weekend's blockbuster snowfall, but it is expected to bring 3 to 6 inches of snow to the city and may bring higher amounts locally, according to AccuWeather.

The snow arrived Sunday morning and will continue throughout the day before tapering off to flurries late in the afternoon. The snowfall will be at its heaviest midday. The high is 33.
As of 1 p.m., 4.2 inches had fallen at Bridgeport Airport; 4 inches at Newark Airport; 3 inches at Central Park; 2.2 inches at LaGuardia and JFK airports; and 1.3 inches of Islip Airport.
It will be cold Sunday night, with a low of 19, creating icy spots on roadways overnight into Monday.

Emergency Management Department Commissioner Deanne Criswell said Saturday over 6 inches could be possible.
Criswell said roadway dining and Open Streets would be suspended Sunday and that the Emergency Operations Center would be activated at 6 a.m. A hazardous travel advisory was also issued, she said.

So far there are no changes to mass transit or ferry schedules, but that could change depending on the impact of the storm.
The Sanitation Department issued a snow alert for Sunday. That means Sanitation will coordinate with NYC Emergency Management and the Department of Transportation on snow clearing.
Alternate side parking, previously suspended through Sunday, will now be suspended through next Saturday.
Mayor Bill de Blasio told 1010 WINS on Saturday that vaccination centers will be open Sunday and that the city hopes to have schools open for in-person learning on Monday.
"Vaccination centers will be running tomorrow, Sunday, certainly we intend to have them running Monday. And right now, we are very hopeful that school will be unaffected and in-person schooling will happen on Monday, as well," the mayor said. "Sometimes mother nature throws us a curve ball, but right now vaccination centers open Sunday, Monday, school open Monday."
De Blasio reaffirmed Sunday that school buildings would likely be open Monday, tweeting that students and staff should plan for in-person learning.
"Our plows and salt spreaders are doing a great job keeping the roads clear and ready for a safe commute tomorrow morning," the mayor tweeted.
De Blasio urged New Yorkers to stay off the roads because "it's going to be very intense snowfall."
"We want to make sure Sanitation can get out there and do their job," the mayor said.
Gov. Andrew Cuomo directed state agencies to prepare emergency response assets for the storm, as well as another system expected to bring more than a foot of snow upstate.
"We are right in the thick of winter storm season with an active cycle of weather for the next week or so, which means plenty of opportunities for heavy snow, high winds, and potentially hazardous conditions that could impact travel and cause power outages," Cuomo said in a press release.
After the storm passes, Monday is partly sunny but brisk and cold. The high will be 30 but winds will make it feel much colder.
More snow and rain is possible Tuesday, when it will be cloudy and not as cold. The high is 38.
