It was a breezy, chilly and mostly cloudy Wednesday across Nassau and Suffolk Counties with even a few passing raindrops. High temperatures were around the upper 40s to low 50s, but it felt several degrees chillier thanks to wind gusts still around 15 to 30 mph. That breeze will continue to peak in the 20 to 30 mph range through the end of the week.

NORTHERN LIGHTS UPDATE: There is still a chance to catch the Northern Lights on Long Island for a second night in a row! The best chance will be after 11 p.m. and through around 4 a.m. Thursday.

Clouds will clear out across Long Island overnight. Tonight's display of aurora may not be as spectacular as last night, but it can still be very cool and it is still worth taking a look.

Tonight's may also not be as visible to the unaided eye as last night. Using your smartphone camera is always the best bet to try and see the aurora where you are.

Space weather phenomenon like this is very difficult to predict timing-wise. The lead time for how strong a geomagnetic storm ultimately gets and subsequently how good the Northern Lights display will be locally can sometimes be one hour or less!

If you capture any photos tonight though, please tag News 12 Long Island and the entire team of News 12 Storm Watch Team of meteorologists on social media — good luck!

BACK TO OUR LOCAL WEATHER: Make sure you have a winter coat tomorrow morning! It will not be as cold as some of our coldest mornings so far this season, but upper 30s and low 40s can feel colder with the breeze lingering. A sunny start Thursday will give way to more of a mix of sun and clouds in the afternoon.

There will once again be a small chance for a quick passing rain shower in the afternoon paired with another chilly feel.

Friday and Saturday will continue to be nice overall. Scattered rain showers will arrive in time for at least Sunday morning. The entire day on Sunday is not likely to be a complete washout at this time.

Have a great night!
