Spring is 12 days away, but Long Island will get a preview of some spring-like weather this week.
After what seems like an eternity of freezing temperatures and mountains of snow, the island will bust out of that snap, at least for the first half of the week. There will be a chance for some nasty weather (yes, it includes that s-word) Friday night into Saturday, but let’s not get ahead of ourselves. We deserve some sun and temperatures near 50. Enjoy the next few days.
Here’s the full forecast from the National Weather Service:
