Long Island will see some mixed snow and rain showers on Saturday along with a close call on up to a couple of inches of accumulating snow on Sunday.

Overnight plans will not be impacted by weather, but make sure you are still dressing warmly.

A few early morning mixed snow and rain showers cannot be ruled out early Saturday morning, but the bulk of the mixed showers will arrive for the late-morning and early afternoon hours. Some coatings of snow are possible on colder and grassy areas, but most of the ground on Long Island Saturday will be wet. Temperatures will be in the upper 30s to low 40s all day. Travel will be wet midday and slushy in parts of Nassau and northwest Suffolk counties at the worst.

If you have travel plans north and west of New York City on Saturday, there will be a couple of inches of fresh snow on the ground there, but not on Long Island.

SUNDAY STORM WATCH: The reason Long Island is on a storm watch is because of a nearby coastal storm on Sunday that does look close enough, as of Friday evening, to at least bring the Island some off and on periods of light to moderate snow. Even though temperatures look to be around or just above freezing, travel can still become slippery and snow-covered, especially on untreated roads. Based on information on Friday evening, most of Long Island will get a coating to 1 inch of snow on Sunday, with 1 to 3 inches likely for Eastern Suffolk County, the area that will be closer to the offshore storm.

If this storm were to jog a bit more west, snow totals can increase a bit. If the storm track ultimately ends up slightly more east, then do not expect much more than some flurries. As of Friday night, there is still some uncertainty with the track of Sunday's nearby storm, so please check back with the News 12 Storm Watch Team through Saturday for the very latest forecast on-air, social media and here on News12.com and the News 12 app.

ARCTIC AIR EARLY NEXT WEEK: Martin Luther King Jr. Day on Monday looks sunny and dry, but it will become extremely cold into Monday evening. This next round of bitterly cold air will lead to wind chills close to, if not, below zero on Monday and Tuesday nights and in the single digits at best during the afternoon hours on Tuesday. Temperatures recover back into the 30s later next week, but with another chance for mixed snow and rain showers returning by Thursday.
