- Check the National Weather Service (NWS) offices for your region (New York City area, if you’re in New Jersey, the NWS Tweet/alerts for the Weather Forecast Office covering U.S. Northeast). They publish real-time warnings, watches, and advisories with counties and expiration times. Look for a Winter Weather Advisory, Winter Storm Warning, or Ice Storm Warning depending on conditions.
- Local television stations and their weather apps often provide minute-by-minute updates, radar, and school/work impact guidance. They frequently translate official warnings into actionable steps for residents.
- State and county emergency management agencies post current warnings and safety tips on their websites during winter storms. They’ll include travel advisories and power outage guidance.
How to stay safe and prepared
- Prepare for possible power outages: cash, battery packs, flashlights, enough non-perishable food and water for at least 72 hours, and a charged mobile device with emergency contacts.
- Plan travel only if necessary; allow extra time if you must drive; keep your gas tank at least half full.
- Monitor multiple trusted sources for updates (NWS alerts, state emergency pages, and local stations) because warnings can change as storm tracks shift.
