WHAT'S NEW: Changes are on the way! The last full day of summer was a nice one across Long Island, but we have a cold front in sight, helping to give rain for Thursday then a drop in temps.

WHAT'S NEXT: Autumn starts Thursday night, at 9:04, and the new season will come rushing in! As the cold front moves through, we’ll first have the rain, then breezy to windy conditions as temps drop Thursday late afternoon/evening. A cold start to Friday comes our way but then our temps rebound heading into the weekend.

TROPICS: FIONA is a Category 4 hurricane with 130 mph winds. It’s path takes it just to the west of Bermuda. It’ll move towards southeast Canada over the next several days but kick up rough waves for LI.

Gaston is a tropical storm that poses no threat to land as it churns in the north Atlantic Ocean.

There are three other disturbances we are watching in the ocean, with one likely to become Hermine in a day or two, near the Leeward Islands.
