Showers are ending this morning and temperatures are pleasant to start the day. A strong wind after 3 p.m. will make it feel much colder for the second half of the day. Wind chills this evening wil be in the 30s. Temperatures will be below freezing Wednesday morning.

Rain is not in the forecast for the rest of the week.

Temperatures today will hit the 50s by noon with a mix of sun and clouds, however a strong breeze arrives this evening and it will feel much colder after 3 p.m. so grab a jacket for any late afternoon or evening plans.

Tonight a widespread freeze is expected with lows near 30-degrees. Nassau county is under a Freeze Watch because it is now past the average last freeze date. Suffolk county's average last freeze is not until next week so there will not be advisories issued alerting of the freeze there.

Wednesday is sunny and cold with highs in the 40s. Another freeze is possible Wednesday night.

High temperatures in the 60s to near 70 degrees again are in sight later this week and into next week! The warm-up will be noticeable on Friday with highs around 60 degrees. Saturday will be the warmest day this week with highs in the mid-60s across much of Long Island. Highs will range from near 60 degrees to near 70 degrees Sunday through Wednesday next week, before temperatures likely cool down into the 50s for next Thursday.

This will continue to be a bad week for seasonal allergies. With mostly dry and breezy weather at times and as we get more into the growing season, tree pollen will be very high.
