A round of steadier, heavier rain moves across Long Island after 10 p.m. and through around 3 a.m. Friday. Temperatures stay cold, holding in the middle 30s, so there’s not much improvement overnight. If you’re driving later tonight or early tomorrow morning, just keep an eye out for large puddles and ponding on roadways, especially in the usual low-lying spots. Visibility and wet roads could slow things down a bit.

Looking ahead to Friday, we’ll still be dealing with a lot of clouds. There could be a few morning showers, but overall it looks mostly gray with highs once again only around 40 degrees. The clouds stick around through the weekend as well, though temperatures slowly start to moderate. The good news is that by next week, a milder pattern begins to take shape, and we could finally see afternoon highs climbing back into the 50s, giving us a little preview of spring.
