Islip Information
It’s a cold start across Long Island this morning, with temperatures in the 30s and 40s and even some areas of frost across eastern Suffolk County. You’ll want the jacket or sweatshirt heading out the door. The good news is temperatures will rebound nicely under plenty of sunshine, with afternoon highs climbing into the mid- and upper 60s.
Tonight will be mostly clear and not quite as cold. Overnight temperatures will generally fall into the 50s, although some of the typically colder spots around the Pine Barrens could dip into the 40s. Overall, it will be a quiet and comfortable night across the Island.
A noticeable warm-up arrives Thursday as southwesterly winds increase to around 10 to 20 mph. That warmer breeze will help push temperatures well into the 70s, with a few locations potentially approaching 80 degrees during the afternoon. Thursday night will be partly cloudy and mild, with lows in the 50s to around 60.
Friday brings another nice day with plenty of sunshine and dry conditions. It won’t be quite as warm as Thursday, but temperatures will still reach the 60s to around 70 degrees. Friday night will stay dry under partly cloudy skies, with temperatures falling into the 50s. If you have outdoor Halloween or fall events planned, the weather is looking good. Saturday will also be dry with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 60s to around 70. Saturday night remains dry and partly cloudy, with lows in the 50s — another good evening for outdoor fall activities.
For Sunday, expect some morning sunshine before clouds increase during the afternoon. We’ll be watching the timing of rain developing. The track of Tropical Storm Isaias will impact the timing of rain for Long Island. High temperatures will be in the 60s. Sunday evening into Monday expect cloudy skies with periods of rain.
NEXT RAIN CHANCE RELATED TO THE TROPICS?
Tropical Depression Nine officially formed in the Gulf Tuesday afternoon. As of 5am this morning is now Tropical Storm Isaias (ees-ah-EE-ahs) and likely a hurricane along the Gulf coast late this week. This is important to Long Island because some tropical moisture in the form of steady rain from this may reach the Island by early next week.
This storm would track inland from the Gulf and weaken, but it is possible that rain from this can extend into the northeast and Long Island by late Sunday into Monday. This would NOT be a tropical storm or hurricane for Long Island. A likely worst-case scenario on Long Island would be 1" to 2" of rain and a very wet Sunday evening through Monday next week. You can see details on News 12's new tropical weather page here. The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you updated on this through the week.
