March winds are blowing, bringing a deep chill back to Long Island.

The National Weather Service has put out a wind advisory Sunday from noon until midnight for all of Long Island. Winds of 15 to 25 mph are swirling with gusts of up to 50 mph.

Despite the sun and highs in the low 50s, Sunday's wind is making it feel much colder. Sunday night looks clear but blustery with the temperature plunging to about 20 degrees, the weather service said.

Wind chill values will bring the real-feel temperature Sunday night to between 10 and 20 degrees, "with a northwest wind 17 to 22 mph, with gusts as high as 38 mph," the weather service said.

More sun is in the forecast for Monday but the high is only expected to top out in the mid-30s. The wind chill will make it feel even colder with near 30 mph gusts.

"By the time we wake up Monday morning and when you factor in those winds, we’re looking at wind chills where it’s going to feel like it’s in the single digits,’ said David Stark, a meteorologist with the weather service's Upton office.

Tuesday, St. Patrick’s Day, brings a small chance of snow flurries with a high in the upper-30s, according to the weather service. Wednesday looks a bit warmer with a high in the mid- to upper-40s.

Thursday’s high is predicted to be about 50 with a 40% chance of rain. Another shot of cooler air means some snowflakes could be mixed in later at night, Stark said. Friday and Saturday’s highs should be in the lower 40s with a chance of rain and snow Friday.
