It will feel a bit more humid, with a few showers or thunderstorm during the afternoon. Highs will range from the upper 70s along the shoreline to the lower 80s away from the water.

Long Island Today forecast

Heading into this evening, we'll continue to watch for a spotty shower or thunderstorm. Sunset is around 7:30 p.m., and a shower or storm could linger through about 10 p.m. The trend, though, is toward drier weather as we get later into the night. Skies become partly cloudy overnight with lows in the 60s. Some areas of fog could develop again toward daybreak Saturday.

Long Island tonight forecast

Your weekend is looking pretty good. Any Saturday morning fog will give way to mostly sunny skies and a mixture of sun and clouds during the afternoon. Highs will be in the upper 70s to around 80 degrees. Saturday night stays partly cloudy with lows in the 60s. Overall, it will be comfortable weather for outdoor plans. Sunday looks nice as well, with a mixture of sun and clouds and highs close to 80 degrees.

Looking ahead to the beginning of next week, Monday will feature partly sunny skies with the chance of a late-day shower. We'll then keep a chance for a couple of showers in the forecast Tuesday and Wednesday. It doesn't look like a washout at this point, but we'll be watching the timing of those showers as we get closer. High temperatures through the middle of next week will generally stay in the upper 70s and lower 80s.
