There really aren't any big changes to the forecast or general thinking. A good soaking rain for tomorrow with windy conditions, and then chillier air for Sunday to Tuesday before it briefly warms up again for the end of next week. Cooler air will return next weekend, but the chances for snow for Long Island and southern New England are very minimal for the next couple of weeks.
