A BLIZZARD WATCH REMAINS IN EFFECT FROM SATURDAY MORNING THROUGH
SUNDAY MORNING.
DEEPENING LOW PRESSURE OVER THE ATLANTIC SATURDAY AND SATURDAY
NIGHT WILL RESULT IN THE POTENTIAL FOR A PERIOD OF HEAVY SNOW AND
HIGH WINDS ACROSS LONG ISLAND. SNOWFALL ACCUMULATIONS OF 6 TO
12 INCHES WITH WIND GUSTS OF UP TO 50 MPH ARE POSSIBLE.
IT IS IMPORTANT TO NOTE THAT THE EXACT TRACK OF THIS SYSTEM IS
STILL UNCERTAIN. A GLANCING BLOW WITH LESS SNOW AND LIGHTER WINDS
REMAINS A POSSIBILITY.

A BLIZZARD WATCH MEANS THERE IS A POTENTIAL FOR FALLING AND/OR
BLOWING SNOW WITH STRONG WINDS AND EXTREMELY POOR VISIBILITIES.
THIS CAN LEAD TO WHITEOUT CONDITIONS AND MAKE TRAVEL VERY
DANGEROUS.
