FRIDAY EVENING RAINBOWS
There were some vivid rainbows seen across Long Island Friday evening, before the sunset and in between the rain showers! The image below was taken outside of our Bethpage studios. There was even a great sunset in spots between the rain showers, too.
OVERNIGHT WEATHER
There will be a mainly cloudy sky overnight with some patchy drizzle and fog possible into Saturday morning, but otherwise dry. Low temperatures will mostly be in the upper 40s to lower 50s.
GLOOMY SATURDAY?
There is a chance it stays pretty cloudy much of Saturday now. There can be a few breaks of sun, but otherwise mostly cloudy. It will be a much more seasonable feeling day with highs in the 50s to near 60 degrees.
SUNDAY RAIN
Sunday will be our next best chance for rain and we do need rain on Long Island, considering the abnormally dry to moderate drought conditions. The rain on Sunday will not fix that problem, but it can help things slightly. Plan for on and off rain through the day with some dry time mixed in. A couple of scattered downpours will be possible. It will be cooler with highs in the middle 50s.
COLDER WEATHER COMING
Sunday night through Tuesday will be the coldest-feeling weather over the next 10 days. Sunday night lows will drop into the middle to upper 30s. Highs on Monday will barely get to around 50 degrees and there will likely be some frost Monday night with lows in the lower to middle 30s. It will be quite cool again on Tuesday before warmer weather arrives again, starting Wednesday with temperatures returning to the upper 50s to middle 60s.
