SNOW SHOWERS LATE TONIGHT / EARLY SATURDAY
Skies become cloudy Friday night with a quick round of scattered light snow showers and flurries. This will happen from around 2 a.m. Saturday to 7 a.m. Saturday. The best chance for a coating of snow will be in Nassau County and western / central Suffolk County. This could lead to some slippery spots early on Saturday that will quickly melt with temperatures warming above freezing after 9 a.m. Saturday. There will also be patchy areas of black ice from daytime snow melt and overnight refreezing. Use caution if you will be out and about overnight and through early Saturday morning.
VALENTINE'S DAY SATURDAY
Temperatures make a run at near 40 degrees with a mix of sun and clouds after a few early morning flurries. It will be breezy and a little chilly, but overall a nice day. Evening and nighttime temperatures will drop into the 20s.
SUNDAY INTO PRESIDENTS' DAY MONDAY STORM?
Sunday will start dry, with a partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies. Highs will reach the mid- to upper 30s. While the bulk of a storm Sunday night into Monday looks to stay well south of Long Island, the outer fringes of that system could make it far enough north to give Long Island a light snow accumulation of up to 2 or 3 inches or so early on Presidents' Day. There will be a clearer picture of this on Saturday. Please check back with the News 12 Storm Watch Team and just keep in mind that there could be some slippery travel to start on Monday. The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you posted on any changes on-air, on the News 12 app and social media through the weekend.
REST OF NEXT WEEK
Get ready for a stretch of 40s for high temperatures. The News 12 Storm Watch Team is forecasting highs in the upper 30s to mid-40s from Monday through Saturday next week. Monday afternoon through Wednesday midday looks dry, but there will be rain shower chances Wednesday evening and through at least Friday with additional snow melting and overnight refreezing through most of the week.
Have a great night and weekend.
