Long-Range LI Weather: Warm Temps Likely To Continue Into March

The Weather Channel has released a long-range look at temperatures in March, and things are looking a little warm for Long Island.

According to the Weather Channel, a polar vortex over the central United States will, ironically, drive warmer weather our way. It is predicting near-average or slightly above-average temperatures for the Northeast, including Long Island.

The warmer weather could mean highs in the 40s or 50s for parts of the month.

However, that doesn't mean it's going to be warm all month. Weather Channel meteorologists said that the polar vortex could also push some cold air our way during the month.
