Islip MacArthur Airport reached 42 degrees on Wednesday. This was the first time topping the 40-degree mark since Jan. 22. There are more 40-degree days in sight next week, too.

Use caution when walking or driving overnight and Thursday morning. Dress warmly, too! Overnight temperatures will drop into the 20s under a partly cloudy sky. This is causing any areas of standing water from daytime snow and ice melting to refreeze. Remember, this type of black ice can be very difficult to see. If an area looks shiny, it's most likely icy. Just be more aware of this going forward to help avoid slips and falls.

We are finally getting more consistent daytime melting of snow and ice with high temperatures expected to stay above freezing through all of next week. This means the pattern of snow melt during the day and overnight black ice forming will continue for the foreseeable future.

While there can be a few flurries late Friday night into Saturday morning, the rest of the week through Valentine's Day on Saturday will otherwise be dry. We are still watching the slight chance for a wintry mix or rain late Sunday into Presidents Day Monday, but the latest information keeps that storm mostly south and east of Long Island. It is just too early to completely write off any mixing or rain just yet, but the News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you posted on any changes on-air, on the News 12 app and on social media.

Have a great night!
