While another chance for light snow showers is on the way for late Saturday night into early Sunday, most of Saturday will just be cold and dry.
After a few scattered flurries today, clouds are clearing this evening. It will be partly cloudy and cold overnight. The wind will not be strong, but a light breeze will make lows near 20 degrees feel like the low to mid-teens - dress warmly!
The full Wolf Moon is also visible into early Saturday morning. It is our next "supermoon," which means it can appear up to 30% brighter and 14% larger than a typical full moon. Enjoy and let us know on social media if you get any photos!
Early sun tomorrow morning will give way to a mostly cloudy sky by afternoon with high temperatures struggling to reach the freezing mark again.
Toward midnight Sunday through 8 a.m. Sunday, there is the chance for a quick round of scattered light snow and flurries.
A coating to 1 inch of snow is possible during this time. Most of Long Island will get a fresh coating of snow, but watch out for some slippery spots again early Sunday morning.
NOT AS COLD NEXT WEEK!
The colder than average weather will continue through Monday, but there is a nice "warmup" on the way starting next Tuesday. High temperatures will be above average for a change! The normal average high temperature this time of year is around 40 degrees on Long Island. Most of next week ends up in the mid- to upper-40s with a few rain showers Wednesday and Friday.
Have a great night!
