We're going to warm things up nicely as we head into Friday. Mostly sunny skies will be with us, and temperatures will climb into the upper 60s and lower 70s.

If you have outdoor plans, Friday is shaping up to be a beautiful day, whether you're heading out for a walk, getting some yard work done or enjoying the fall colors across Long Island.
Now, let's talk about Halloween on Saturday! The forecast is looking pretty nice for all the trick-or-treaters and Halloween festivities. We're expecting sunshine during the morning, with a few clouds developing in the afternoon. Temperatures will be a little cooler compared to Friday, with highs in the upper 50s and lower 60s. The good news is that we're looking at dry conditions for all those outdoor Halloween activities. During the evening trick-or-treating hours, temperatures will be in the 50s, making for some nice and comfortable weather for the kids heading out to collect their candy. A light jacket or an extra layer under those costumes might be a good idea later in the evening. Saturday night will be partly cloudy, with overnight lows dropping into the 40s.
Looking ahead to Sunday, we're expecting another nice fall day with a mixture of sunshine and clouds and high temperatures in the 60s. Overall, the weekend is shaping up to be a great one for fall festivals, sporting events, outdoor activities and getting some yard work done. And here's an important reminder: Daylight saving time ends early Sunday morning at 2 a.m., so don't forget to turn your clocks back one hour before heading to bed Saturday night. You'll get that extra hour of sleep, but sunset will arrive about an hour earlier Sunday evening. It's also a great time to check your smoke detectors and carbon monoxide detectors, replace batteries if needed and make sure everything is working properly as we head into the colder months ahead. Enjoy the beautiful fall weather and have a safe and happy Halloween!
