Snow is on the way to LI
In Huntington, it wasn't looking like the first full day of spring. Officials at the National Weather Service said the snow won't accumulate across Long Island, but that we can expect traces of snow again on Wednesday and Thursday. (March 21, 2011) Credit: Peter Walden Sr.
Long Island is going to take a step backwards into winter tomorrow as a system from the midwest makes its way towards the east coast.
Right now it looks as though accumulation, if any, will occur tomorrow evening once temperatures drop to the low 30s.
So the roads should be fine for the Wednesday morning commute, with just a slight chance of a sprinkle or flurry. Throughout the day tomorrow is where things could get messy, especially towards the evening commute.
Accumulations for tomorrow night are difficult to predict. It looks like anywhere from 1 to 3 inches could fall across LI, with higher amounts north and west of the city.
But much of it may not even stick to some surfaces, so roads could just turn slushy and slippery. But drivers will definitely need to keep an eye out for that.
