Get ready to layer up again soon, Long Island plus our first chance for a steady light snow is still on the table later in the weekend!

This evening, temperatures are still in the upper 40s with periods of rain that will gradually end from west to east this evening. Temperatures topped out around 50 degrees today and will gradually become colder overnight.

It will feel like the teens by around 6 a.m. Thursday.

It will be mostly dry, but windy and very cold all day. Wind chills in the afternoon will be around the low 20s at best.

There is a slight chance for a passing flurry in the evening.

Friday will once again feel like the 20s at best and it will be dry. Friday night through Saturday is now expected to stay dry, too.

The chance for our first at least coating of snow on the ground this season is still very much on the table for late Saturday night through Sunday morning. At this time, significant snow is unlikely, but travel can be slippery.

The News 12 Storm Watch Team of meteorologists will have a much better idea of whether this ends up being more flurries or a steady light accumulating snow as we go throughout the next two days. It is an extra reason to pay attention to the News 12 forecast updates through the rest of this week.

Have a great night!
