Latest forecast: Up 2 feet of snow, flooding, and high winds through mid-Monday

NewsdayTV meteorologist Bill Korbel, in his latest forecast, said conditions outdoors will continue to be hazardous across Long Island through mid-Monday as the blizzard barrels through the region.

Korbel called it "the biggest storm we have seen in a long time, at least back to 2022." Long Island will continue to be buffeted by winds at times above 50 mph "and even some coastal flooding," he said.

Blizzard conditions overnight will make travel difficult or impossible. By mid-Monday, the system will be passing southeast of Cape Cod, Massachusetts and Long Island's weather conditions will begin to improve, he added. Before then, expect heavy snow to continue blanketing the region with up to two feet in some locations, Korbel said.

"This is not going to be a powdery snow either," he said. "Temperatures are not much below freezing so it's going to be a bit on the heavy side."

The high tide overnight into early Monday could lead to coastal flooding. On the North Shore of Long Island, the high tide is expected between 2 and 3 a.m. Monday, Korbel said. On the South Shore, the high tide should arrive between midnight and 3 a.m.
