Near-blizzard Conditions in LI Forecast for Friday

By on February 6, 2013

It looks like Long Island’s groundhogs were right about winter sticking around because the forecast is calling for a messy snow storm to hit the region.

Snow is expected to start falling Thursday night into Friday morning before turning to rain and then back to snow again Friday night. Upton-based meteorologists with the National Weather Service predict “significant snowfall and strong winds with near-blizzard conditions,” the agency said in a statement.

Minor coastal flooding and beach erosion are likely with the storm, according to NWS. A chance of snow lingers before noon Saturday before temperatures warm up to above freezing.

Sunday is forecast as sunny before a chance of rain and snow moves in again Monday.
