Blizzard Warning Issued for Suffolk County The National Weather Service has issued a Blizzard Warning for our area beginning tomorrow at 1:00 a.m. through 1:00 a.m. Friday. The advisory is associated with a large and powerful nor’easter which is now taking form off the coast of Florida and is expected to ride up the east coast.
While the greatest snowfall amounts are expected to be northeast of Long Island, meteorologists expect that we may see as much as 10 inches of snow combined with high winds exceeding 45 MPH that will cause near blizzard conditions. Additionally, this storm poses a risk of coastal flooding in the Western Long Island Sound. Please monitor local media coverage or the National Weather Service for up-to-date weather forecasts and notifications. For your safety and the safety of emergency responders, please adhere to all travel restrictions and advisories that may be issued.
