Long Island forecast: Rain and snow mix

Wet conditions are forecast for the beginning of the workweek on Long Island, with a chance of snow Monday and Wednesday, according to the National Weather Service.

On Monday, rain is likely before 2 p.m., before turning into a mix of rain and snow. Snowfall is likely beyond 4 p.m. with temperatures falling to about 37 degrees. Little or no snow accumulation is expected, the weather service said.

“Before the precipitation ends, it could briefly change over to snow Monday afternoon, as cold air moves into the area,” said Joe Pollina, a National Weather Service meteorologist. “Eastern Long Island will probably be the best area to see snowflakes falling.”

A 30% chance of snow is forecast for Monday night, but mainly before 7 p.m. The nighttime low is expected to be below 30 degrees with wind chills values between 20 to 25.

Conditions will dry up for a sunny Tuesday with a high near 44 degrees. Tuesday night will be partly cloudy with a low around 29.

Snow is likely to return on Wednesday, but before 1 p.m. A mixture of snow and rain will take over in the afternoon, before becoming just rain in the evening. Wednesday night will see a low of around 34 degrees.
