Light Snow Possible Tuesday Night in Kings Park Following More Record-Breaking Cold

Cold, but mostly dry conditions expected on Long Island the rest of the week.

A low pressure system may bring snow, but not much, to Long Island Tuesday night, according to the National Weather Service.

The chance for snow will come mainly between 10 p.m. Tuesday and 3 a.m. Wednesday. Less than an inch of accumulation is expected for most of the island. The Twin Forks are the most likely to see snow, with about an inch of snow projected to fall there, the NWS says. Flurries may fall in New York City, but no accumulation is expected.
