Need to increase probabilities because of a low potential for hurricane force gusts tomorrow. Driving conditions are appearing more dangerous.

Discussion:

It is unusual for a nor’easter producing only rain to cause school closings or delays on Long Island. However, with a low potential for gusts up to 70 mph, school impacts are on the radar. Since the strongest winds will occur toward the early evening Monday, a delayed opening would not make sense. Probabilities of a full or early closing remains on the low side.
