BEAUTIFUL START TO THE EVENING

It was quite an amazing day of weather on Long Island with most high temperatures in the 60s paired with full sunshine. Clouds will gradually increase tonight as we head through the overnight hours, but this evening is still nice and mostly clear to partly cloudy. Temperatures are in the 50s for most of the evening and will only drop into the upper 40s to lower 50s into Wednesday morning.

A FEW SHOWERS WEDNESDAY

While there can be a couple of spotty light rain showers especially Wednesday morning, most of the daylight hours will be dry. That said, it will be a much windier day with some gusts between 25 and 35 mph. Highs will be in the upper 50s to middle 60s again with a few breaks of sun between the clouds possible.

WETTER THURSDAY MORNING

A round of steadier moderate to briefly heavy rain will move through Thursday morning. The second half of the day will be drier with some breaks of sun, but a few pop-up showers and even a thunderstorm cannot be ruled out. Highs on Thursday will be in the middle 60s.

INCREDIBLE WEEKEND AHEAD

If you do not have outdoor weekend plans yet, try to make some if you can! Both Saturday and Sunday still look mostly sunny and much warmer. High temperatures on Saturday will hit the lower to middle 70s across much of Long Island and it will be even warmer on Sunday!
