After a wet and gloomy Monday, it is drier overnight. The wind is gusting between 30 and 50 mph and that will continue all night. Scattered power outages cannot be ruled out going into Tuesday.

The wind will help dry up the ground, but where standing water lingers on the ground, there will be patchy areas of ice. Use caution when traveling, especially on untreated surfaces.

It will feel much colder heading into Tuesday. Highs on Monday were around 50 degrees, but it will feel like the teens overnight and through much of Tuesday, thanks to colder air plus the stronger wind.

As we head into 2026, there can be a passing snow shower overnight Wednesday into Thursday! Otherwise, the theme of our Long Island weather this week will be much colder and fairly dry.
