THIS EVENING
After a nice Wednesday afternoon with varying amounts of clouds and highs in the upper 60s to low 70s, this evening will be nice but mainly cloudy, with fewer breaks in the clouds and a light southwest breeze. Enjoy!
OVERNIGHT
Mostly cloudy and dry with lows mostly around the lower 60s into early Thursday morning.
BRIEFLY WARMER
Thursday and Friday will be warmer on Long Island, but this warm-up, as you might expect this time of year, will be short-lived. Highs on Thursday will be around the mid-70s, but Nassau County and parts of western Suffolk County will have a chance to hit the 80s on Friday! The rest of Long Island will be in the mid-70s. Enjoy if you love warmer weather because a more consistent stretch of cooler weather returns this weekend and through all of next week.
NEXT RAIN CHANCES: WEEKEND LOOKS DRIER!
Thankfully, there is not too much rain to track following last weekend's nor'easter. That said, have an umbrella with you Friday evening, mostly after 6 p.m. There will be a few passing showers mid-evening with a slight chance for a shower overnight into early Saturday morning. The steadier rain chance that looked possible for Sunday is now looking like it will stay more south and east of Long Island, but it is a close call. There can still be some afternoon or evening showers on Sunday. News 12 will keep you posted on any weekend weather changes through the rest of the week. The futurecast below shows the projected weather across Long Island.
