A significant snowfall tomorrow night is becoming less likely, the National Weather Service says in its latest forecast update.

The highest amounts of snow are likely to fall across far eastern Long Island and southeast Connecticut, where accumulations could reach two to four inches.

The coastal low that will bring precipitation to the region tomorrow night has weakened and will pass farther to the southeast of Long Island, the weather service says. It now appears that it will track about 300 miles southeast of New York City tomorrow night. “However,” the weather service says, “there still remains some uncertainty in the forecast track and intensity of the low.”

There’s a 50-percent chance of snow tomorrow afternoon, when temperatures will reach highs only in the mid-30s. Northeast winds of 15 to 20 mph will gust up to 30 mph.

The weather service forecast for the North Fork tomorrow night is calling for light snow accumulation, near steady temperature in the low 30s and north winds of 15 to 20 mph with gusts up to 30 mph. The chance of snow tomorrow night is 80 percent.
