Islip Information
For tonight, clouds will gradually increase, but it will remain dry and mild for most of the overnight. Low temperatures will only fall into the mid- to upper 60s as we head toward Thursday morning.
You'll also start to notice a little more humidity creeping back into the area.
Morning sunshine on Thursday will slowly give way to afternoon clouds, and while most of the day favors dry weather, keep an eye out late in the afternoon through Thursday night for a few pop-up showers or thunderstorms. It will feel a bit muggy through the day with highs reaching the upper 70s to low 80s, followed by nighttime lows in the upper 60s.
Heading into Friday, expect a mix of sun and clouds with highs hovering around 80 degrees and another slight chance for a spotty shower or storm. Fortunately, the weekend shapes up nicely to wrap up the end of August, featuring mostly sunny skies, light passing clouds, and highs in the upper 70s to low 80s—ideal for any outdoor plans.
Looking further ahead, meteorological Fall kicks off on Tuesday, Sept. 1, and an unsettled pattern looks to bring an increasing threat of wet weather by the middle of next week.
