Forecast: Light snow early Saturday, then brief warmup

Long Island may see some snow showers overnight Friday into Saturday before temperatures briefly warm up Sunday and Monday, meteorologists forecast.

Just days after the first snowfall of 2025, around "a couple tenths of an inch" of snow is expected to coat Long Island on Saturday, said Bill Goodman, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service’s Upton office.

The forecast "light snow" will fall "mostly during the morning," according to Newsday meteorologist Rich Von Ohlen.

"Despite not expecting a lot of accumulation, the roads could be a little bit slick early in the morning," Von Ohlen added. "Motorists should take some caution."

High temperatures reached the mid-to-upper 30s Friday — the first time residents in some areas felt above-freezing temperatures this week. Temperatures will hover in the mid-30s Saturday, the weather service predicts.

"We’re going to have a brief break from the cold … Sunday and Monday, as highs should reach the lower 40s, which after a cold week, is going to feel kind of nice," Von Ohlen said. "Make sure you enjoy it because that cold weather is expected to return by midweek."

Long Islanders can also expect a hiatus from the gusty conditions they felt this week.

"I think people will be looking forward to that," Goodman said. "Even though it won't be especially warm, we do get a break from the wind."
