- The details for Long Island are in the forecast below with no major changes really, although there may be a bit of an afternoon lull in the rain and then heavy rain for parts of this evening into tonight with gusts up to 45 mph and a possible thunderstorm. Also, instead of the rain ending by 7 AM tomorrow, some scattered showers will linger into late morning, and a passing shower can't be ruled out in the afternoon. I have included 6 future radar images below for all of the northeast, so you can time it for your area.
- As I posted last night, southeastern MA is now in play from the offshore storm Sunday morning into Sunday afternoon with the potential for an accumulating snow (see 2nd and 3rd images). For Montauk, it would be a very slight chance for some flurries to make it that far west, but it's worth keeping an eye on.
- We will have the weak system passing through New England Tuesday afternoon/night with some light snow to the north and showers to the south.
- Then there is the potential for a snowstorm for central to northern NY/New England late next week (see 4th image) with it possibly being a snow to mix to rain scenario for southern New England, and most likely all rain for Long Island.
