It's a cloudy but comfortable start to October with temperatures in the 60s this morning. Grab an umbrella, there's a few spotty showers before lunchtime, but any rain that falls will be very brief and light.
WARM & CLOUDY
Today and Friday will be warmer on Long Island, but this warm-up will be short-lived. Temperatures this afternoon rise to the mid-70s with overcast skies. Aside from an early shower, rain is not expected today. Tonight remains mild with low temperatures in the mid 60s.
Friday starts off very nice with more sunshine and temperatures that soar to the upper 70s for Suffolk county and near 80-degrees for inland areas and much of Nassau county. It could be the last 80-degree day of the year as more consistently chilly weather is in the extended forecast.
Clouds increase Friday afternoon and showers are likely Friday night and early Saturday.
NOT A BAD WEEKEND
This weekend will be much nicer than the past few; however there are a few showers on Sunday afternoon and evening.
Saturday will be the pick of the weekend with a mix of sun and clouds and temperatures in the upper 60s. Sunday morning is likely dry, but spotty showers are likely Sunday afternoon with cloudy skies and high temperatures in the mid 60s.
CRISP FEEL NEXT WEEK
Sunshine is expected next week with our first true taste of autumn chill in the mornings. We expect low temperatures to drop into the 40s on Tuesday and Wednesday morning with high temperatures possibly remaining in the 50s on Tuesday. Rain is expected early Monday and then the forecast remains dry ... until showers possibly return for the end of next weekend.
