Long Island will be unusually cold this weekend as temperatures could dip below freezing for parts of the East End, according to National Weather Service meteorologist James Tomasini.

Conditions are expected to be dry and sunny over the weekend. Daytime temperatures on Saturday and Sunday will be in the upper 50s, but nighttime temperatures could get "down in the 30s across much of Long Island," Tomasini told Newsday.

"It’s a relatively quiet weekend weather wise. We have highs both days that are going to be only in the mid-to-upper 50s. The skies will be mostly sunny both days. And then some cold nights tonight and Sunday night," he said.

The nighttime lows could reach freezing in Long Island’s "cold spots," which includes the pine barrens and areas further east, according to Tomasini
