Clouds will be around Long Island this morning, along with a slight chance of an isolated shower. As we head toward the afternoon, expect increasing sunshine and a very nice finish to the day. Most locations will stay dry, and you'll notice the lower humidity. Afternoon temperatures will reach the mid- to upper 70s to low 80s.

Tonight, as we head into the start of the Jewish holiday, sunset is around 7:07 p.m. Skies will be mostly clear, with a cool and comfortable night ahead. Temperatures will fall into the 50s across much of the Island by Saturday morning, with some upper 40s possible in the Pine Barrens.
Saturday starts dry with some sunshine, but clouds will gradually increase during the afternoon. High temperatures will once again be in the 70s. Saturday night turns cloudy, with a couple of showers developing and overnight lows in the 60s.
Sunday looks unsettled to start, with cloudy skies and periods of rain during the morning. Some rain can be heavy at times with a chance of thunderstorms. The rain should taper off during the afternoon, followed by some drying and perhaps a few breaks of late-day sunshine. Highs will range from 75 to 80 degrees. Then we're back to brighter weather Monday, with more sunshine and temperatures around 80 degrees.
There will continue to be a high risk of rip currents at the Atlantic Ocean beaches through tonight and a moderate rip current risk, but improving water conditions overall into Friday.
