The forecast for the rest of this week and the weekend is still on track with no significant changes. That said, there are still some questions surrounding the timing and how much rain will fall next week and potentially impact local holiday travel around the Thanksgiving holiday. Keep checking in with News 12 for frequent updates on next week's holiday travel weather.

Typically, nighttime temperatures in late-November average in the mid-30s across Long Island. Tonight will be slightly colder than average, but as long as you dress for winter overnight and early Friday morning, you will be fine.

It stays mostly dry through Friday, but it will be a mostly cloudy day with a few breaks of afternoon sun possible. There is a very small chance for a passing stray rain shower, but most of Friday is dry. Temperatures will also return to the low 50s.

A period of light to moderate rain arrives towards and after midnight Friday night into Saturday morning. Latest indications are that off and on rain showers will persist through most of Saturday morning before some sun breaks out Saturday afternoon.

Saturday afternoon through Monday looks nice still for November's standards!

We are still watching the chance for a period of steady moderate rain to move in on Tuesday afternoon with possibly lingering periods of rain through Wednesday. Please keep this in mind if you are traveling. If there is any rain on Thanksgiving Thursday, it is likely to just be a few morning showers.

Of course, the entire News 12 Storm Watch Team will be on top of all of the weather conditions for Thanksgiving week for you on-air, on social media and here on our website and the FREE News 12 APP.

Have a great evening!
