But several hours later, that snowy dusting could turn into a potential squall, leaving up to an inch on the ground, experts said.

The temperature is expected to be about 30 degrees as the ball drops in Times Square at the stroke of midnight, although meteorologists said it will feel more like it’s in the 20s or even teens.

“If the weather pans out as forecast, the midnight temperature on New Year’s Eve at Times Square will be the coldest since the cusp of 2017 and 2018, when it was a frigid 9 degrees,” AccuWeather meteorologist Jesse Ferrell said.

The bone-chilling weather could be met with a light touch of snow overnight into early Thursday.

Flurries could hit the city starting sometime after 10 p.m. into midnight, although the scene will look more picturesque than something out of a travel nightmare, AccuWeather senior meteorologist Tyler Roys told The Post.

But a forecasted snow squall is expected to then descend on the Big Apple between 4 a.m. and 7 a.m., leaving behind a coating of possibly up to an inch of snow, Roys said.

If any snow of consequence hits the city as the clock hits midnight into 2026, it would be the first time since 2009, according to AccuWeather.

The rest of the tristate area will face similar weather compared to the city, Roys noted.
