THIS EVENING
After a first day of October with varying amounts of clouds and a quick passing rain shower in spots, there can still be a brief rain sprinkle this evening. Otherwise, it will become partly cloudy with temperatures dropping through the 60s after peaking in the 70s this afternoon. The weather remains decent all evening.
OVERNIGHT
Partly cloudy with above-average low temperatures. Lows will be in the lower 60s into early Friday morning. The normal average low temperature is 53 degrees.
SUMMER-LIKE FRIDAY?
If you live away from the South Shore and East End of Long Island, Friday will have a summer-like feel to it! High temperatures in Nassau County and northwestern Suffolk County will easily get into the 80s. Highs across the South Shore and East End, with around a 10 to 20 mph breeze off the ocean, will be in the upper 60s to mid-70s. It will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds most of the day until an evening shower chance.
FRIDAY AND SUNDAY SHOWER CHANCES
Have an umbrella with you after around 6 p.m. Friday as a few scattered rain showers will move across Long Island during the middle evening hours. Most of these will be light to at worst moderate in intensity. Long Island is still expected to be on the edge of rain showers on Sunday. For now, keep the outdoor plans, but it does look like there will at least be some scattered light rain showers likely. Stay with News 12 for updates on the weekend forecast.
