Where can I find the Long Island weather forecast for this weekend?

How does a winter snow storm or nor'easter affect Long Island differently by region?

During a Long Island snow storm or nor'easter, heavy elevation-dependent accumulation occurs along the Harbor Hill Moraine on the North Shore, while warm Atlantic ocean air frequently turns snow into rain or sleet along the South Shore and the Hamptons. Track elevation rain/snow transition models live at https://linyweather.com/models.php.

Why does islandwide weather vary between the North Shore, the Hamptons, and Nassau County?

Islandwide weather on Long Island is shaped by surrounding maritime waters. Long Island Sound moderates North Shore towns like Port Jefferson, the cold Atlantic Ocean cools the Hamptons and Montauk, the Central Pine Barrens creates extreme radiational frost hollows in Westhampton, and western Nassau experiences urban heat island effects from NYC.

Where can I find local weather for specific towns on Long Island like Port Jeff, the Hamptons, and Montauk?
