Sorry, snow lovers. Less than an inch of the white stuff is now expected to accumulate on Long Island Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
Winter weather warnings have been issued for parts of the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut, but the island will be largely spared. The timing of each snowfall has also changed, which is good news for commuters.
Earlier forecasts called for snow and sleet during the Monday afternoon commute, but now the sleet has been eliminated from the forecast and any accumulated snow is expected to remain until Monday night.
Here's the hourly forecast as of 2 a.m. Monday:
