A blast of cold arrives, with temperatures dropping into the teens and feeling like the single digits during the overnight hours. Monday is very cold but dry with high temperatures in the upper 20s.

Tuesday is dry to start, but a wintry mix will arrive in the afternoon. A quick coating of snow or ice is possible Tuesday afternoon, then steady rain in the evening and overnight.

Stray rain showers are expected on Wednesday morning, with more widespread rain returning Thursday evening through Friday. Daily rain chances continue into the weekend under generally cloudy skies.

The mildest temperatures so far this season are on the way for next week. There's a chance temperatures could hit 60 at Islip next week, the first time since Nov. 17. If temperatures do not hit 60, this could be the longest stretch without reaching the milestone on record.
