The National Weather Service has issued a winter storm watch for possible heavy, wet snow with accumulations of four to nine inches on Long Island tomorrow night.

The winter storm watch, in effect from late Tuesday night through late Wednesday night, also covers southern Connecticut.

“Plan on difficult travel conditions,” the weather service said in a statement. “Significant reductions in visibility are possible. A combination of the heavy wet snow and wind gusts of 25 to 40 mph could bring down tree limbs and power lines, creating power outages.”
