A blast of cold arrives tonight with temperatures dropping into the teens and feeling like the single digits. 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.

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