A stray rain sprinkle or flurry is possible overnight, but otherwise dry with wind chills in the 20s early Wednesday.
After a wet Tuesday, drier weather has arrived for Long Island. Clouds are clearing into Wednesday morning and while most of the night is dry, a passing sprinkle or flurry cannot be ruled out. It will also be windy and cold overnight with the chance of running into a few icy spots on Wednesday morning as temperatures drop into the lower 30s.
Wind gusts will continue to be between around 20 to 35 mph. The gustier wind Tuesday evening after the rain ended helped to dry up the ground, but any water that does remain can refreeze overnight.
