DRY AND NICE THIS EVENING
After a gorgeous Thursday afternoon with high temperatures mostly in the lower 60s, temperatures will mostly be dropping through the 50s this evening under a mostly clear to partly cloudy sky. Enjoy!
A FEW SHOWERS OVERNIGHT
It will be variably cloudy overnight with low temperatures in the 40s into Friday morning and spotty rain showers mostly from around 2 a.m. to 5 a.m.
DECENT FRIDAY AHEAD
Friday will mostly be a nice day with a mix of sunshine and clouds paired with high temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. There is a slight chance for a passing light rain shower in the afternoon, but most of the day will be dry and a bit breezy with a northwest to southwest wind around 10 to 20 mph. The UV index will be high, so it is important to use sunscreen during any time spent outside.
LONG ISLAND DROUGHT UPDATE
As expected, there was little change to the current drought conditions for parts of Long Island with this morning's update. These updates come out every Thursday morning. Eastern Suffolk County and western Nassau County are still in a moderate drought and there are no major rainstorms on the horizon just yet. That said, there will be some scattered rain chances through the weekend and next week.
MOTHER'S DAY WEEKEND
While Saturday will have some rain, it is not a complete washout. There will be spotty rain showers around in the morning and afternoon, but the best chance for rain will be a round of moderate to briefly heavy rain and perhaps a thunderstorm from around 4 p.m. through 10 p.m., moving across Long Island from west to east. That can briefly slow down travel later on Saturday.
Mother's Day Sunday is still looking good overall! Expect a mix of sun and clouds along with warmer temperatures, mostly in the lower 70s. There is the chance for some scattered rain showers after 7 p.m. and through Sunday night.
