Long Island Weather: Spring To Kick Off With Snowstorm

UPDATE: Winter Storm Watch Issued For Long Island

We may make it through the first day of spring without seeing any snow, but we won't make it through the second.

"Spring starts tomorrow, but snow is in the forecast," the National Weather Service's New York office said in a tweet Monday morning. "Another coastal storm will brush the region late tomorrow night and Wednesday, with a growing concern for heavy, wet snow on Wednesday across a portion of the area."

A total of 4-6 inches of snow is likely to accumulate on Long Island by Wednesday night, according to the NWS's latest estimates.

However, in a hazardous weather outlook issued for the region, the NWS said: "Depending on the eventual track of the storm, some areas may receive significant snowfall of 6 inches or more. This would be more likely to occur across central and eastern Long Island."
