Other than a lingering rain sprinkle or flurry, it is drier this evening. Roads can still be wet, but temperatures are expected to stay above freezing overnight with a partially clearing sky. Standing water is not expected to refreeze, but use caution for slick conditions that can linger. You will also notice the wind picks up after midnight.

Overall, quieter weather will be with us for Wednesday and Thursday. It will be windy and chilly tomorrow, but under a mostly sunny sky. A spotty shower under a mostly cloudy sky cannot be ruled out on Thursday, but nothing significant is expected.

Confidence is increasing for accumulating snow to impact Long Island from late Friday afternoon through early Saturday. While exact details will become clearer tomorrow and Thursday, it is important to plan for possible significant travel impacts late Friday into the start of the weekend. Plowable snow is possible.

Here is a look at what we know now and what we are working on ironing out over the next couple of days:
