Long Island weather alerts

Cleanup continues from yesterday's tornado in Atlantic Beach and flooding across Long Island, but thankfully the weather tonight is decent overall. We are still awaiting National Weather Service confirmation of the strength and exact path of yesterday's tornado and will update you as soon as we get that information.

This evening will be mainly cloudy with a few breaks in the clouds early. A couple of light passing lingering showers or drizzle is possible, especially in eastern Suffolk County. Overnight temperatures will fall back into the 60s as we head into Saturday morning. Overall, it should be a pretty decent night if you have any outdoor plans, but a passing shower cannot be ruled out.

Saturday will be mainly cloudy. Scattered light showers are likely through the day, so keep the umbrella nearby if you have outdoor plans. It will also be cooler, with high temperatures only reaching the mid-70s. Showers will become more widespread Saturday night, and a few thunderstorms will also be possible into Sunday. Overnight lows will remain in the 60s.

Sunday starts unsettled with showers and possibly a thunderstorm during the morning. Some of the rain could briefly become moderate to heavy, so watch for reduced visibility and ponding on area roads. Conditions should gradually improve during the afternoon, with some late-day breaks of sunshine possible. High temperatures Sunday will range from the 70s to around 80 degrees.
