Clouds clear tonight; nice, but hotter Wednesday ahead with a storm chance late-week
We trade today's gloomy, showery weather for a beautiful Wednesday, but a few showers and thunderstorms along with hot and humid weather move in for the end of the week.

THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
Any spotty drizzle or light rain is tapering off this evening, but a cloudy sky with temperatures in the upper 60s to lower 70s will linger for the first half of the night. Overnight, clouds gradually clear into Wednesday morning with low temperatures in the middle to upper 60s.
BEAUTIFUL WEDNESDAY
All outdoor activities are a go for tomorrow! It is going to be noticeably humid, but nice with a mostly sunny sky and high temperatures in the upper 70s to low 80s. The UV Index will also be back up to an eight, which is very high, so reapplying sunscreen every two hours will help you avoid a sunburn in around 10 minutes on unprotected skin.
BOATERS: A small craft advisory will continue along the Atlantic Ocean in Suffolk County, but waves will drop to around two to four feet even there into the afternoon.
HEATING UP LATE-WEEK WITH A THUNDERSTORM CHANCE
It will be warm and humid on Thursday with temperatures returning to the lower to middle 80s. There can be a pop-up shower or thunderstorm in the afternoon or evening, but we are not expecting too much rain or any severe weather on Thursday.
Friday will be the hottest day this week with high temperatures back in the upper 80s to near 90 degrees, paired with tropical-like humidity. This is only expected to last one day at this time, but plan on it feeling like the middle 90s on Friday. As a front approaches Long Island late in the day, this can help spark a few showers and thunderstorms into the evening. At this time, no severe weather is expected locally, but the News 12 Storm Watch Team will monitor this for you throughout the week.
