WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

- The weekend closes out with a beautiful summer end outside of a few rogue showers. Preparing for the new week and just ahead of Labor Day weekend. High pressure will continue to influence mainly dry and sunny conditions for Long Island.

- There will be some opportunities for passing systems to bring rain and isolated storm threats to the region, especially Monday evening and Wednesday evening.

- On Monday, morning, lunchtime and the drive home will all be good. Rain and thunderstorms are expected to develop after 5 p.m. but any threats are likely to end by Monday before midnight.

- There are no expected issues from weather on Tuesday with sunny, dry conditions and temperatures will be in the mid-80s and some areas near 90 degrees.

- Wednesday will see a warm front to move into the region, pushing temperatures into the 90s. Humidity will increase as more moisture is brought into the region making for a muggy day. Wednesday evening sees a cold front to move into the area behind the warm front which will likely bring rain and stormy weather for our Wednesday evening.

- The work week ends on a very pleasant note. Temperatures will drop to the upper-70s along with the humidity being much more favorable. Smooth sailing to close out the work week.
