This is a week of changing weather for Long Island.

After a cold, but dry Monday with high temperatures around 30, keep the heavy coat with you overnight. Low temperatures will be in the low to mid-20s, with clouds increasing overnight.

A period of wintry mix and rain will develop across Long Island between around 7 a.m. and 11 a.m. from west to east. Most of Long Island will start as plain rain, but a brief period of snow or wintry mix is possible for around an hour or so to start. This is more likely to happen for areas north of the Long Island Expressway. This can cause a quick trace or coating of snow before quickly changing to plain rain. Please just use caution throughout the day on Tuesday, even if your location starts as plain rain.

Periods of light to moderate rain in the morning will taper off to spotty showers and drizzle in the early part of the afternoon.

Another round of steadier rain will move through between 8 p.m. and 11 p.m. Tuesday and last until around 6 a.m. Wednesday. Slower driving is suggested during this time. Rain totals will be up to around three-quarters of an inch.

The full "worm" moon occurs Tuesday and it coincides with a lunar eclipse in the early morning that is actually going to turn the moon red. The conditions will not be ideal for viewing due to a mostly cloudy sky and this will occur near break of daylight and sunrise. It will also be very low on the horizon on Long Island.

THURSDAY: Mostly cloudy, with spotty light rain.

FRIDAY: Steady, moderate rain through the morning commute. Drier weather developing for the afternoon.

Potholes can be more difficult to see filled with water and there will be larger puddles around at times this week due to rain chances and more melting snow. Potholes can always be a problem this time of year, especially with daytime warming above freezing and overnight refreezing some nights. If you notice any trouble spots near you, please continue to let News 12 know.

After rain ends by around 6 a.m. Wednesday, the rest of Wednesday looks nice, with breaks of sun and temperatures warming back up into the mid- to upper 40s. This will be a day to try to enjoy some outdoor time if you can. The weekend will also be warmer, with highs in the upper 40s to mid-50s, but with limited sun and a spotty shower chance each day. That said, there still will be decent outdoor time each day.

This is a reminder to "spring forward" one hour on Sunday morning at 2 a.m. Sunrise on Sunday morning will be at 7:15 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:51 p.m.

The month of March can be up-and-down weather-wise on Long Island. While some chillier days again cannot rule out later this month, the next 10 days look relatively warmer overall. As of Monday evening, the forecast high temperatures are in the 50s from Saturday through at least next Wednesday. The South Shore and East End can stay several degrees cooler with breezes off the water.

Have a great night and stay dry on Tuesday.
