After some very windy weather with gusts up to around 50 mph at times, the wind is finally diminishing a bit this evening and into Wednesday. There will still be some gusts around 20 to 35 mph tonight, but no more 50 mph gusts for now thankfully!

The lingering breezy weather will make temperatures in the 20s feel like the teens again tonight into tomorrow morning. After a partly cloudy sky this evening, clouds increase again into tomorrow morning.

It will be cold and breezy on Wednesday with a few flurries possible in the morning.

There will be a better chance for festive scattered periods of light snow after 9 p.m. Wednesday and through around 6 a.m. Thursday.

This can cause scattered slippery areas of travel as you head to and from any holiday plans, but make for a nice looking scene around Long Island to ring in 2026!

This is not a big event in terms of snow totals, with a trace to one inch possible for Long Island. The best chance to get one inch or slightly higher will be across the East End. Most of Long Island will have snow coatings and some slippery areas to watch out for into New Year's Day morning.

Beyond that, temperatures will stay below average through the weekend with mostly dry weather until some mixed showers will be possible by the middle of next week.

Have a great night!
