It’s a warm and pleasant day across Long Island with a mix of sunshine and passing clouds. We’ll call it partly to mostly sunny for much of the afternoon, and temperatures are climbing nicely into the 70s. It’s a comfortable late-spring feel with a light breeze, making for great weather to spend some time outside.

As we head into tonight, clouds will gradually increase and skies will turn mostly cloudy overnight. Some patchy fog may also develop, especially in areas closer to the shoreline and out across eastern Long Island. Temperatures won’t fall very much, with overnight lows staying mild in the 50s and 60s.

For Wednesday, it stays warm and a bit more humid with mostly cloudy skies around for much of the day. Temperatures will once again push into the 70s, with some lower 80s possible away from the immediate south shore and East End. While much of the daytime looks dry, we’ll be watching for a few showers to develop late in the day and especially Wednesday night. There could even be a rumble of thunder as a disturbance moves through.

Looking ahead toward Friday, we’ll see a mixture of sun and clouds with the chance for a passing shower. It won’t be a washout, but you may want to keep the umbrella nearby just in case. Temperatures remain mild with highs generally in the 70s, keeping that warm spring pattern going as we head toward the weekend.
