WEEKEND SNOWSTORM UPDATE: News 12 is still forecasting 8 to 14 inches of snow Sunday into Monday, the highest snowfall since the January 29, 2022 blizzard on Long Island.

The storm will begin as all snow with frigid temperatures between 4 a.m. and 8 a.m. Sunday.

Snow intensity will increase through the morning. Snow rates will easily be at least 1 to 2 inches per hour for several hours. The wind will also be increasing out of the east with some gusts over 30 mph. This will lead to whiteout conditions. Travel conditions overall will dramatically deteriorate quickly.

Snow is likely to change to a period of sleet sometime after 4 p.m. Sunday. Plan for major travel impacts Sunday through next week. The snow and icy ground will not melt much at all through next week either with high temperatures stay well below freezing through all of next week.

ARCTIC AIR MOVING IN: Tonight through Saturday will be dry, but dangerously cold. Actual air temperatures drop to around 10 degrees into Saturday morning. It will stay breezy overnight and that will make it feel like around 0 to -15 degrees. That means frostbite is a concern in less than 30 minutes on exposed skin. Please dress warmly and limit exposure to the bitter cold. Saturday afternoon's wind chills will still be in the single digits with high temperatures in the teens.
