Even with gas prices falling,
gas in Suffolk County could go up now that the county's gas tax holiday is no
longer in effect.

The tax break started in June
when gas prices were around $5 per gallon. 

<a href="https://longisland.news12.com/expect-to-pay-more-at-the-pump-as-suffolks-gas-tax-holiday-to-end-thursday">Up until today, the holiday
was saving drivers&nbsp; </a>a few cents on each gallon of regular.

Tax breaks from New York
state and Nassau County are both still in effect, but they are set to expire at
the end of the year.

LIFORECAST

I'm meteorologist Rich Hoffman through hyperlocal weather forecast. The rest of today. A little breaks of sunshine. We have a couple of spotty rain or snow showers moving on through. We've had a few flakes flying out over the east end. Now, through the rest of today, still that chance of a rain or snow shower. Now, in Huntington through this evening it's cold. We top out to a high of 41. By the time we're coming home from work around five o'clock, 39 degrees, we're in the thirties, skies will clear overnight and tomorrow morning, cold temperatures around 25 to 30 degrees. So out the door today this afternoon, 41 degrees, it's cold that rain and snow shower, wind chills have been in the twenties and thirties. So if you're outside the gloves, the hat, the warm boots and also the scarf and keep yourself warm. The rest of today, take a look. Now, tomorrow. So it's cold today. Tomorrow, the chance of a rain or snow shower in the afternoon hours of Thursday, a high of only 40 to start off hot for Thursday night, slight chance of a rain or snow shower early and then overnight hours of Thursday into Friday, skies will start to clear and weather will be improving on your Friday. How about a temperature near 50 degrees? So, changes coming our way towards the weekend, Saturdays dry Sunday. We're watching the storm. It will have strong winds and the timing of the rain looks to be during the afternoon and evening hours of Sunday. If it gets delayed a little bit more, it's more towards Sunday night. So the threat of some brief heavy rain, Sunday night into early Monday morning and some strong winds, we could have winds on Sunday night, 40 to 50 MPH. Recapping today. Temperatures, low forties that rain in passing snow shower tonight, turning colder lows 25 to 30. It's a cold start to your Thursday morning. Saturday looks good at 54. Then that rain and wind Sunday night into Monday morning.

Suffolk gas tax holiday expires; prices to possibly increase 

LIGastaxholiday121_2022-12-01-05-16-34

Three is the time and things might not be too great either if you're hitting the road. Even with gas prices dropping gas and Suffolk could go up now that the county's gas tax holiday is no longer in effect. The tax break started in June when gas prices were around $5 a gallon. Up until today it was saving drivers a few cents on each gallon of regular. Now tax breaks from new york state and Nassau County, they are both still in effect, but those are set to expire at the end of the year. So which is now in the alert center keeping an eye on those prices, taking a look at if things have gone up any bit this morning. Yeah, we know it's going to happen. It's just the wind. So let's take a look. This is the gasbuddy dot com map here and we're looking at BP Middle Country Road, Middle Island. 3 33. Someone posted that four hours ago. Let's see if we can find another one here. How about in ridge 3 29 just down the road. Another BP on Middle Country Road also posted four hours ago, a little bit higher as you head down the William Floyd parkway and Shirley the mobile there 3 55 6 hours ago. We're gonna see if we can see a big jump in these prices throughout the morning. We're going to let you know because on average now we're looking at a different picture nationally, we're at $3.47. That is a steep decrease. But look at the change here in new york and on Long Island, we're at 3 75 across the state, 3 64 on the island. Yes, down eight cents in a week, nine cents cents this time last month. But let's see now with this ending of the gas holiday and Suffolk means for those numbers come later, today and tomorrow.
