Long Island heading out through the rest of our day. Here's where we're looking at the cloudy skies. We've had drizzle and some fog, and we do have changes on the way. We just got to wait a little bit longer now going through this evening, if you're going to be around Brentwood, cloudy skies, some drizzle, some fog, some spotty showers. Temperatures will be in the 60s the rest of today. Now tonight towards 11 o'clock, some fog and drizzle and rain showers will start to develop overhead. And you can see the big changes coming our way. By Thursday, sun and clouds 85 is your average temperature. Some late day storms, that's going to be kind of like a summer day and right now over the weekend, hot and humid, mid and upper 80s, maybe near 90 degrees. So the rest of the day we have the showers, the drizzle. It's cloudy out there for today, and we watched the clouds from Nassau Coun to County, Port Jeff to Patchogue, mastic, Babylon over to. the cloudy skies, the drizzle, yeah, it's really annoying weather with the cloud cover and temperatures more than 10 degrees below average. So what's on the way tonight? Some showers into Wednesday morning, some showers around for the first part of our day for the morning rush hour we see some showers. Now during the midday of Wednesday we could break out to a little bit of sunshine. If we get enough sunshine, we're looking at mid 70s and there may be a late day shower. Our way between 45 to 8 o'clock and that's one of the things we'll watch on Wednesday, but that's the day things are slowly getting better and then by Thursday we're going to warm things up 80s to near 90 degrees on the north shore and then during the afternoon hours of Thursday. So if you have outdoor plans Thursday afternoon and Thursday evening, you need to be weather aware. There will be some showers developing and we can't rule out some thunderstorms as we go to around 4 to. 8 o'clock right here at this point at 6:45 we could have some quick heavier downpours, some rumbles of thunder, maybe some gusty winds on Thursday with the hot and humid weather conditions. We can see the temperatures 80s to near 90 on Thursday, Friday mid 80s going into your weekend recapping today. Temperatures are in the 60s, the showers are drizzle, 60s for tonight and you can see as we go through that 10 day forecast, much nicer weekend.

June's strawberry moon will be lowest in the sky since 2006

NEWMicheleJuneMoon

The June full moon is here, and it's known as the strawberry moon because this time of year strawberries are nice and ripe. They are in season. If you haven't had some yet, make sure you do in honor of the moon. So that's where the name comes from. But this moon is going to be extra special. It's going to be really low in the sky. In fact, the lowest since 2006, and that's because we have a major lunar standstill. This happens every 18.6 years, and we have this seasonally low moon because we are nearing the summer solstice. The sun is at the highest point in the sky. The moon is at the lowest, and we'll take the path like the winter sun, but it's going to be even lower because of the major lunar standstill. So the summer solstice is coming up next week. The sun is at the highest point. The moon consequently will be at the lowest point in our sky. And it's also the longest day of the year, so we have the altitude changes due to the seasons, and the sun this time of year is very high in the sky and the moon is going to be very low. It's going to take on that path like it's in the month of December, and you may have noticed that recently. Here's a picture of Full moon from last month noticeably lower in the sky, a little bit closer to the horizon, and the moon is actually going to be rising at its southernmost point. So you're going to want to not look east but south and east to see that big beautiful moon rise in the weather center. I'm storm watch team meteorologist Michelle Powers.
