- Temperatures in the low 70's are now a fairly distant memory as we enter a chilly/cold stretch. Tonight will be the coldest night so far with some teens showing up in Southern New England and some low to mid 20's in the Pine Barrens area in east-central Suffolk on Long Island (see 2nd image).
- I have included the rain and snow maps for tomorrow into Wednesday, and I may post a future radar later this morning.
- After the rain ends on Wednesday, it's possible that Long Island will have a dry stretch for the next 8 days through Thanksgiving with a very cold weekend coming up with highs possibly only around 40 degrees this coming Saturday. However, I am still watching Sunday night as there is still a slight chance that an offshore storm comes close enough to bring rain/snow to the coast. The ensemble mean precipitation amounts are around 0.25" for eastern Long Island, so I wouldn't rule this out yet. This is what the NWS is saying about it: "...low predictability on potential for southern low to work up the east coast late weekend."
