OVERNIGHT
It will feel colder overnight into early Friday morning under a mostly clear sky. Low temperatures will reach the lower to mid-40s, but a north 10 to 20 mph breeze overnight will make it feel like the 30s at times early Friday - grab a coat before heading out!
SUBTROPICAL STORM JOSEPHINE CONTINUES TO PULL AWAY
Post-Tropical Storm Josephine continues to move to the northeast, hundreds of miles away from Long Island. This is allowing wind gusts to diminish. It will stay breezy at times into the start of Friday before a much lighter wind arrives Friday afternoon and evening.
Conditions along the shoreline continue to gradually improve, too. Check out the News 12 tropical page for all tropical weather updates HERE.
GREAT WEEKEND FOR FALL ACTIVITIES!
We have some cold fall mornings on the way into the weekend with patchy frost possible, but beautiful afternoons! It will feel like the 30s to low 40s in the mornings. You will also need a jacket during the daylight hours, with highs in the 50s to low 60s. That said, try to get out and enjoy some of the great fall activities across Long Island under the mostly sunny sky this weekend.
Fall colors are starting to pop a bit more, too. If you get any nice foliage photos, send them our way on social media if you can!
EXTENDED FORECAST
OVERNIGHT: Mostly clear and feeling colder into Friday morning. Lows will be in the lower to mid-40s, but a breeze out of the north around 10 to 20 mph still will make it feel like the 30s to low-40s. Dress warmly!
FRIDAY: It will be a cold and breezy start early in the morning. Mostly sunny and cool with a lighter wind in the afternoon and evening. Highs around 56 degrees. Lows near 37 degrees.
Water conditions, while improving, will still be hazardous enough for a small craft advisory to continue on parts of the ocean waters through 6 p.m. Friday.
SATURDAY: Mostly sunny with highs around 58 degrees. Saturday is shaping up to be a beautiful fall day, although it will certainly start out cold.
If you're heading to the IRONMAN 70.3 at Jones Beach, temperatures will be in the 40s during the morning hours. Athletes and spectators should dress for the colder conditions. The good news is that we'll have plenty of sunshine, dry weather and a lighter wind, making for favorable weather conditions for the race.
Afternoon temperatures will only climb into the 50s, so there will still be a fall chill in the air. Whether you're attending the triathlon, heading to a youth sporting event or visiting a local fall festival, the weather should cooperate. Lows near 39 degrees.
SUNDAY: Sunny with highs around 61 degrees. Lows near 42 degrees.
MONDAY: Sunny. Highs around 65 degrees. Lows near 48 degrees.
