Long Island forecast: Snow likely Saturday with rain continuing through Sunday

The winter weather hits keep coming for Long Island.

Snow is expected Saturday afternoon, though accumulations will likely be limited as the forecast calls for sleet and freezing rain in the mix through Sunday morning.

But first, Long Islanders will deal with blustery conditions Thursday night and Friday, the National Weather Service in Upton predicts.

Thursday night will bring a low of around 25 with wind chill values between 15 and 25 due to steady winds between 15 and 24 mph, with gusts as high as 40 mph, the weather service forecasts. 

Friday will be sunny with a high near 35, but it will feel colder with steady winds up to 24 mph and gusts as high as 36 mph.

The temperature will drop Friday night to a low of 21, the NWS said.

The snow on Saturday for much of Long Island is predicted to start after 4 p.m., the weather service said. Up to 2 inches is "possible," with snow starting a bit earlier in Nassau County.

Any snow that does accumulate will likely melt as rain and rising temperatures are forecast for Saturday night and Sunday. The weather service calls for a high temperature near 47 on Sunday with a 100% chance of rain. Sunday night, the threat of rain drops to 40 percent before 10 p.m., with a low temperature around 25. 

The weather service cautioned motorists that driving conditions could be hazardous Saturday night and Sunday morning.
