A Winter Storm warning has been issued for Long Island ahead of this weekend's storm.
A snowstorm will cause travel problems beginning Friday afternoon and become widespread Friday night. 4 to 8 inches of snow is expected with locally higher amounts possible. This is a complicated forecast because there is a possibility for some ice to mix in and lower snow totals, but regardless this will be an impactful storm.
The storm will begin on Friday with snow flurries in the afternoon and become widespread after 6 p.m. There is a possibility for several inches of snow to accumulate by midnight on Friday. The heaviest snow will happen Friday evening through the overnight hours and it will not be safe to travel at times.
Saturday morning will be better, but an additional inch of snow is possible from sunrise to noon on Saturday in some spots. There could be some wintry mix on Saturday morning lowering snow totals.
Takeaways:
- Don't focus on snow totals, focus on impacts
- You will need to shovel Saturday morning

- Travel will be difficult Friday evening and early Saturday morning.
Looking Ahead:
Temperatures remain below freezing until Sunday afternoon. Rain is expected Sunday night and Monday Morning.
