We had an OK day across Long Island today. It wasn't perfect, but it was not bad. We had clouds, breaks of sun and a few passing showers with a chilly breeze. Expect more of the same tomorrow.

ANY MORE NORTHERN LIGHTS LOCALLY?! The Northern Lights chance for Long Island is over for now according to the NOAA/NWS Space Weather Prediction Center. Thank you for all of your photos this week!

Plan on a cold, but dry and partly cloudy night tonight and morning on Friday. While there is still a chance for a brief shower, most of the day is dry. It will feel like the mid-40s at best again in the afternoon, though.

WEEKEND CHANGES: The timing of the rain over the weekend has sped up a bit. Rain will now arrive after 7 p.m. Saturday and be over with before 8 a.m. Sunday. In fact, there is a chance that most of the rain is done before sunrise on Sunday. So, it will be a quick hit of steady, moderate rain mostly Saturday night.

If you have plans after 7 p.m. Saturday, please have a raincoat and umbrella with you. It looks like around 0.5" or slightly less of rain will fall across Long Island during this time.

The weather for much of next week actually looks eerily similar to the end of this week. Expect a mix of sun and clouds with breezy and chilly weather Monday through Thursday. There is a chance for rain by the end of next week again.

Have a great night!
