Dry weather this morning with sunshine. We do have to watch out for some black ice as temperatures start out in the 20s and low 30s. Clouds will be on the increase for the afternoon as we watch a storm south of Long Island.

It may move north tonight which will produce a few flurries and a passing snow shower. Skies will clear overnight and with another day of melting during the daylight hours we watch for a re-freeze overnight as temperatures will drop into the 20s overnight.

Heading into the weekend we have a lot of changes. Friday will feature lots of sunshine with highs in the upper 30s and low 40s. Dry weather Friday night with lows around 30. Saturday will be sunny and relatively warm. Highs 42 to 47. An arctic front arrives Sunday morning which will bring a period of snow showers. Some minor snow accumulation possible Sunday morning. It will be breezy and colder for the afternoon with highs in the 30s and feels like temperatures in the 20s.

The trend for the storm on Monday has trended south. As of now, expect cloudy skies and some flurries or snow shower. If the storm tracks north, we may need the shovels. The overall weather pattern for next week looks active with more changes of rain and snow on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday.

TODAY: While most of Long Island is likely to stay dry, a few spotty snow showers cannot be ruled out in the afternoon and evening. This could cause a spotty coating, but again - most of this snow is likely to remain south of Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Sunday: A period of light snow is likely Sunday morning. An arctic front with cold air is likely to produce around or under one inch of new snow that would melt Sunday afternoon. Watch out for slippery travel on Sunday morning.

Next Week: Monday looks cold with the chance for a period of light to moderate snow. This is not a coastal storm. This would be a quick hit of accumulating snow. The track will be better known by Friday, but at this time — major new snows are unlikely. A couple of inches looks to be possible. Stay with News 12 for updates. There is also another chance for a storm in the Tuesday to Wednesday timeframe that is more likely to be a snow/mix to rain type of storm for Long Island. Both of these storm chances are more than five days away, so a lot will still change.

It has been a tough week of weather. Hopefully, these reminders below help to put a smile on your face amid the rough travel and cleanup that continues from this week's incredible amount of snow.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny. Highs 37-40 degrees. Lows near 28 degrees.

SATURDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy. Highs around 44 degrees. Lows near 28 degrees.

SUNDAY: Morning light snow. Another new coating to one inch of snow cannot be ruled out. Afternoon breaks of sunshine. Highs around 38 degrees. Lows near 18 degrees.
