After a cold start, it will generally be a mild week as sustained cold holds off another 10 days:
- It's a very cold start early this morning (see 2nd image).
- The details for Long Island are in the forecast below, but the rain for tomorrow will be slow to progress eastward on Long Island. While timing differences remain, the majority of the rain will be tomorrow afternoon through Wednesday morning with some showers possible before and after that time-frame.
- With a complex pattern, storm uncertainty is lower than usual going forward, so watch for changing forecasts for this weekend and next week as the models disagree. For example, the GFS has rain for Long Island Friday through Sunday, the Canadian has rain only for Saturday, and the Euro keeps it dry as the storm is suppressed to our south.
- Sustained colder air looks to arrive around the 16th.
