A series of disturbances rotating around a low pressure system up in Canada will bring unsettled weather for the next 36 hours. Clouds thicken up overnight tonight with the slight chance of sprinkles or light rain showers by tomorrow morning. Sunshine quickly returns late morning with mild temperatures and dry conditions for the afternoon.By Tuesday evening another disturbance approaches bringing the return chance of showers and possibly and thunderstorm. Brief heavy downpours can't be ruled out since humidity will be high with the wind off the water.Showers will continue overnight Tuesday into Wednesday morning. A cold front then clears Long Island after sunrise with clearing skies from west to east and sunshine by Wednesday afternoon.Fingers crossed for clear skies by sunrise so the Total Lunar Eclipse will be visible. Total eclipse begins at 6:25 AM. The Moon will have a red - orange tint as the sun and moon are exactly 180 degrees apart in perfect alignment.

It's another warm day across Long Island with temperatures near 70 degrees! That's at least 10 degrees above normal. Colder changes are on the way once a cold front passes by tonight. Then we'll get back to more typical fall-like weather.
Along the East Coast temperatures are more spring-like with highs in the 70's. To the west, especially through the Great Lakes there's a fall chill with highs only near 50. That colder air will be reaching us by the weekend.There's a few rain showers along with a cold front just west of Long Island. One or two of those showers may reach you between 5 and 10 PM from west to east. After that, drier and colder weather will build in along with clearing skies by morning.
The average high for today is 59 degrees. Tomorrow will feel cool to chilly after our brief warm-up but temperatures will actually be seasonable or "normal" with highs in the upper 50's to near 60. It will also be nice and sunny with a few fair day clouds during the afternoon.- Meteorologist Samantha Augeri

Forecast Update at 715am Tuesday by Meteorologist Rich Hoffman
Winter Storm Watches posted from 7am Wednesday to 7am Thursday.
Here is the storm tracking towards Long Island
So what to expect: rain developing between 6am and 8am: Some of the rain will be heavy at times. Temperatures 38 to 41. Wet Morning Commute.On the above weather map - Blue= Snow, Pink=Rain/snow Mix, Green= Rain, Yellow=Heavy Rain. During the Mid day expect a rain and snow mix. Some snow in Northern Nassau county could be heavy at times. Moderate to heavy rain over the east end. Temperatures 34 to 40. Wet and sloppy road conditions, some localized street Flooding.For the evening rush, we will have a mix of rain and snow. Here is the problem, does the snow change back to rain. (The above image is one computer model.) If that happens snow totals will be under 1 inch for most of Long Island. If the snow, stays snow there could be several inches of snow on the ground with icy roads for evening commute. Expect flight delays. Temperatures 34 to 37. Wet and sloppy road conditions, some localized street Flooding.Rain and snow mix at 9pm. You can see again most of Suffolk is seeing rain with a wintry mix in Western Nassau county. If you noticed in the above maps, areas just north of Long island, like 10 miles, they stay all snow and will see 4 to 8 inches of snow. This is something we have to watch very closely. We will fine tune the snow fall amounts tonight and into tomorrow. We need to watch for ICY roads Overnight into Thursday morning. Temperatures will be near 32 degrees.As of now, 730am on Tuesday, this is what I am thinking for snowfall. highest amounts in Northwestern Nassau County to Little snow in Montauk. Be Alert and Be Prepared for changing weather conditions.

Update as of 1030am on Tuesday by Meteorologist Rich Hoffman
At News12 our Meteorologist use different forecast models for guidance. Some models are better than others. Some parts of each model are better than other parts.
The four main models we use at News12.
1. ECMWF - European Models2. GFS - Global Forecast System - American Model
3. RPM - Rapid Precision Model from WSI4. NAM - North American Mesoscale
From the National Weather Service:
From National Digital Grid:As you can see the models can not agree on how much snow. It's our job as Meteorologists to go over the data and trying and figure out which parts of each model are correct. Then we make our forecast. As of right now, below is my snowfall forecast.
Little snow over Montauk and East End with higher amounts over Northwestern Nassau County where these areas have a better chance of more cold air. The 4 to 8 inch snow band is only 15-20 miles away, any change in wind direction, temperatures or storm track will lead to a change in snowfall totals. The Precipitation will start as rain 6-8am Wednesday and will mix with snow starting around Noon to 4pm. Stay Tuned for more weather updates. Meteorologist Rich Hoffman -
Updated by Samantha Augeri on Monday, December 15th.
A picture perfect start to the work week with temperatures in the mid 40's! A warm front associated with low pressure will approach Tuesday afternoon brining warmer temperatures, increasing clouds, and the chance of showers. Most of the day will be dry with highs nearing 50 degrees. Light rain showers will pass by Tuesday night with a cold front... and those showers will end by Wednesday morning. Sunshine returns to finish off the week with cooler temperatures. THEN, we're tracking a more significant storm that will take a track south of Long Island on Sunday. We could see a wintry mix followed by rain and wind.... stay tuned.
