BEAUTIFUL START TO THE EVENING
It was quite an amazing day of weather on Long Island with most high temperatures in the 60s paired with full sunshine. For tonight, clouds will gradually increase as we head through the overnight hours. It won’t be as chilly as recent nights, with low temperatures settling into the upper 40s and lower 50s by early Wednesday morning. Wednesday itself turns noticeably cloudier and breezy. Winds could gust up to around 35 mph at times, especially during the afternoon. While much of the day stays dry, you can’t completely rule out a passing rain shower. Temperatures will once again reach the 60s.
The weather turns more unsettled Wednesday night into Thursday as rain develops overnight. We’ll be tracking scattered showers through Thursday along with the chance for a few thunderstorms. It won’t be a washout the entire day, but there will be periods of wet weather and plenty of clouds around. High temperatures Thursday will stay in the 60s. By Friday, conditions improve a bit with partly sunny skies returning, although there is still the chance of a passing shower. Afternoon highs will continue to run in the 60s.
Looking ahead to the weekend, the forecast is shaping up beautifully. Right now, both Saturday and Sunday are expected to feature mostly sunny skies with warm springtime temperatures. Highs will reach the mid and upper 70s for many spots, and a few areas of western Nassau County could even flirt with the low 80s. It’s looking like a terrific weekend to get outside and enjoy the stretch of dry, warm weather.
