Long Island Weekend Weather: Possible Snow Tonight, But Then Sun

LONG ISLAND, NY — This week has been wonderfully warm, with just a bit of rain. But according to the National Weather Service, that's going to change this weekend. It's going to get cold tonight and tomorrow night, the NWS says, and there may even be some snow.

Though the high for today is still 50 degrees, it's going to drop to 32 tonight, and rain is going to come with it. The rain is predicted to start later this afternoon, and may even mix with some snow later on in the night in parts of eastern Long Island.
