There's a threat of snow in New York on Thursday

Rafi Letzter

It's unseasonably cold in New York right now — 43 degrees Fahrenheit in Manhattan, with a high of 51 expected later in the day. That's about 8 degrees below average for October 26.

And sleet, snow, and possibly freezing rain are on the way.

That's according to a National Weather Service (NEWS) report released Wednesday morning. The frozen precipitation, headed down from Canada, should affect the Lower Hudson Valley and northeastern New Jersey. New York City can expect some cold rain but should miss any snowfall.

The snow shouldn't be too bad anywhere or accumulate heavily. The NWS says it will be "brief" and "light." But it's still bizarre late-October weather.
