Long Island Weather Week Ahead

The last week of winter won't include any snow, but it also won't be all that nice outside.

The workweek kicks off with a downright nasty Monday.

Rain is expected to start toward the end of rush hour on Monday morning and it may not end until late at night. An inch of rain in total is possible for the island.

Winds will gust up to 35 mph into Monday night, which will increase the potential for minor coastal flooding during the Monday night and early Tuesday morning high tide cycles, according to forecast discussion by the National Weather Service's New York office.

Oh, and Monday will also be cold. The high will be near 40, but wind chills temperatures will sink to 30.

"After the recent warm spell, which quickly spoiled the Northeast, Monday will feel chilly," AccuWeather Meteorologist Maggie Samuhel said. "Warmth is relative and it doesn't take much this time of the year to give the illusion to people that it should be warm now through September."

Things will warm back up into the 50s on Tuesday, but there's the 50 percent chance of rain. Wednesday and Thursday will also bring chances of rain.
