A cold spell continues to grip New York City, with temperatures slowly climbing but remaining far below seasonal averages.

According to the meteorologist, a weak storm system that has the potential to bring with it a 10th of an inch of snow, is set to pass through the New York City area Monday evening into Tuesday morning. The snow showers are expected to begin at 7 a.m. on Christmas Eve and last until noon.

A pre-Christmas clipper storm is headed toward New York City this week, bringing frigid temperatures and chances for snow showers, which could make untreated roads slippery for holiday travelers, according to the latest forecasts.
