Original Story
The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm warning for Suffolk County beginning early Monday morning, with the South Fork expected to get between 6 to 8 inches of snow by the end of the day.
According to NWS Meteorologist Joe Pollina, the storm will begin around 3 a.m., possibly starting off as rain, but then quickly turning over into snow. By 7 a.m., when the morning commute begins, there is expected to be between 2 to 3 inches of accumulation. Mr. Pollina said motorists can expect "hazardous" traveling conditions.
"At that time, the bulk of the snow will be falling down," he said, adding that visibility will be no more than a quarter-mile, and wind speeds will be 15-25 mph, with gusts up to 35 mph in a northeasterly direction.
The storm is also anticipated to cause moderate coastal impacts, and there is a coastal flood advisory issued for the county from 7 a.m. to 11 a.m.
This also is not the only snow Long Island will face for the week, Mr. Pollina said. “We do have chances of snow through the middle of the week, with minor accumulations after Monday," he said, noting that Monday's snowfall will be the heaviest.
