Unfortunately we continue to be on track for our first winter weather event of the season tomorrow afternoon. While exact timing will be hard to pin-down with this event, generally expect snow to overspread the region between 1-3PM tomorrow snow will be heavy at times throughout the afternoon. The snow should begin changing to sleet and rain between 5-7PM. After the changeover, expect rain heavy at times through the night until Friday morning. Temperatures will begin at or below freezing when the snow begins tomorrow and begin to rise into the mid-30’s during the event.
Totals will end up being hard to measure since the rain will wash it all away. However, as it is falling we can expect to see anywhere from a trace to 2 inches of snow. The further west you go, the cooler the temperatures will be and the later the changeover. Therefore, most will only see a coating to an inch or so in Nassau. Parts of Suffolk county may not see any snow at all. Additionally, since the temperatures will be hovering right around freezing, it is likely that snow will only accumulate on grassy surfaces, cars, and other non-paved surfaces. Either way this event will cause for a slow commute home tomorrow evening.
