Winter Weather Advisory Long Island 2 to 3 Inches Possible into Saturday Morning
Winter Weather Advisories are posted for Long Island tonight into Saturday morning. Low pressure is heading across the Tennessee Valley and off the Delware coast Saturday morning. Long Island will be on the northern edge of the snow shield but we should be able to grind out 2 to possibly 3 inches before the accumulating snow ends Saturday morning, probably around 8am or so. Snow will arrive overnight probably around or shortly after midnight. The satellite loop shows clouds increasing and we should start to see the radars become active after 9 or 10 pm this evening.

This is a fast moving system so there isn’t much room for upside unless a heavier band of snow develops, which is possible but hard to forecast. Right now there will be a band of 4 inch plus snows but that should set up just to the south of Long Island. We will monitor this overnight in case it sneaks northward. This will be a more powdery snow unlike the heavy wet snow from Tuesday. Temperatures tonight will drop below freezing once the snow begins and we will settle in the upper 20s to around 30 degrees Saturday morning. Once the accumulating snow ends, we will still see some scattered snow showers into the afternoon Saturday as an upper trough moves through. Temperatures will be in the 30s but then drop to the low and middle 20s Sunday morning. Sunday will see sunshine and highs back in the mid to upper 30s. Monday Presidents Day look for some sunshine and highs will moderate back into the 40s.
