OVERNIGHT AND EARLY MORNING ICY SPOTS
Today was another day with some gradual snow and ice melting due to high temperatures a few degrees above freezing. This will lead to areas of refreezing overnight and into Friday morning where any standing water lingered.
The highest impacted areas will be around homes and businesses. Most main roads will be fine, but please continue to use caution when walking and driving. This is something we will have to deal with for several weeks. Otherwise, it is partly cloudy, breezy, cold and dry tonight with lows eventually near 20 degrees and wind chills closer to 10 degrees early Friday morning.
SNOW SHOWERS LATE FRIDAY NIGHT / EARLY SATURDAY
Most of Friday will be nice with sunshine and high temperatures around the mid-30s. Clouds will increase at night and a quick round of light snow showers and flurries will move through Long Island from northwest to southeast very late Friday night. This will occur mainly after midnight into early Saturday morning.
From around 1 a.m. Saturday to 6 a.m. Saturday will be the best chance for this. A quick coating to half-inch of snow will be possible, leading to some slippery spots early on Saturday that will quickly melt with temperatures warming above freezing after 8 a.m. Saturday.
LATE SUNDAY INTO PRESIDENTS DAY MONDAY STORM?
The chances for any significant weather impacts Sunday evening into Monday are extremely low at this time. There is going to be a storm south of Long Island and most, if not all, of that storm is expected to stay to the south. We are still just watching the slight chance for light snow or mixed showers brushing by Long Island, but the latest information still keeps that storm mostly south enough to not give us any impacts other than perhaps a few snow or mixed showers and slippery spots. It is very possible that the entire area stays dry.
The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you posted on any changes on-air, on the News 12 APP and on social media.
REST OF NEXT WEEK
Get ready for a stretch of 40s for high temperatures! We are forecasting highs in the low to mid-40s from Monday through Friday next week. Monday afternoon through Wednesday midday looks dry, but there will be rain shower chances Wednesday evening and through at least Thursday, with additional snow melting and overnight refreezing through most of the week.
Have a great night!
