Developing low pressure will move east across eastern Long Island this afternoon then depart to the northeast tonight. High pressure will build in Thursday into Friday. A series of lows will then pass to the south this weekend into early next week. The heaviest of today’s precipitation has moved out of the area. Light rain and drizzle or freezing light rain and drizzle can be expected tonight. Untreated frozen/refreezing surfaces will create very slippery conditions. Another significant precipitation event is possible late this weekend.

The storm is essentially over, however, intermittent light rain or freezing rain can be expected for the rest of the afternoon with lingering drizzle until about 9:00-10:00 PM.

NWS has indicated that it is too early for specifics for this weekend (the energy for the system that’s expected this Saturday/Sunday is still in the Pacific), but light snowfall is forecasted at this point.
