Long Island weather forecast: Chance of a little snow

After Long Island saw temperatures drop through Saturday under cloudy skies, Sunday will bring the slight possibility of a little bit of snow.

The temperature at 1 a.m. Saturday was 44 degrees but by just before 5 p.m. it was down to just under 31 degrees, according to the National Weather Service.

The forecast for Sunday calls for mostly cloudy skies and a 20% chance of rain, snow, and sleet after 2 p.m. The high temperature should be near 37 degrees. The wind is expected to blow out of the northeast around 8 mph and shift to come out of the southeast in the afternoon.

The normal high for the date in Islip is 39 degrees

Sunday night the chance of rain or snow climbs to 50% with the thermometer hovering around 36 degrees, according to the weather service.

A warm front moving in Sunday night could bring precipitation, according to Bryan Ramsey, a meteorologist with the weather service in Upton.

"While the system will start as snow, it will eventually transition into rain," Ramsey told Newsday. "[On] Long Island, we're probably only looking at a few tenths of an inch of snow, and then it's going to rain" another tenth of an inch.

Monday is expected to be partly sunny, with a high near 47 degrees, and Monday night mostly cloudy, with the temperature around 41 degrees.
