A winter storm warning will be in effect for all of Long Island from now through Thursday afternoon, according to the National Weather Service. An area of low pressure over the Atlantic Ocean will sweep into the region as a nor'easter this afternoon, bringing with it heavy snow after 5 p.m. and heavy winds. Blizzard-like conditions are possible, according the service.
Nassau County is predicted to receive a foot or more of snow, with less on the South Shore and more on the North.
Dangerous conditions on the water are predicted, and flooding is possible in low-lying areas.
