SPOTTY SHOWER TONIGHT
Keep an umbrella or rain jacket with you this evening and into Tuesday morning. There will not be much rain, but there can be a couple of passing light rain showers at any point tonight or Tuesday morning. Otherwise, it will be mainly cloudy and chilly overnight with low temperatures in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
MUCH DRIER STRETCH
Other than a passing shower, the rest of the next 10 days look mostly dry at this point! This is going to be a great week for outdoor activities, but temperatures will be seasonable to a bit below average through Thursday, ahead of a warm-up into the weekend. High temperatures will be in the upper 40s to low 50s through Thursday.
A FEW COLD NIGHTS AND MORNINGS
Tuesday evening through Thursday morning will be the coldest stretch this week. Protect any outdoor plants during this time. Those early morning temperatures on Wednesday and Thursday mornings will need to be paired with winter attire! It will be in the upper 20s to lower 30s during the overnight and early mornings of that stretch. The afternoons will be decent, but feel chilly at times - especially on Wednesday. Plan on needing to dress warmly Tuesday night, Wednesday morning, Wednesday night and Thursday morning.
LATE-WEEK WARM-UP
High temperatures in the 60s to near 70 degrees again are in sight later this week and into next week! The warm-up will be noticeable on Friday with highs around 60 degrees. Saturday will be the warmest day this week with highs in the mid-60s across much of Long Island. Highs will range from near 60 degrees to near 70 degrees Sunday through Wednesday next week, before temperatures likely cool down into the 50s for next Thursday.
POLLEN COUNTS
This will continue to be a bad week for seasonal allergies. With mostly dry and breezy weather at times and as we get more into the growing season, tree pollen will be very high.
