Some morning breaks of sunshine then mostly cloudy skies will dominate Long Island today, and it will stay relatively mild for mid-March. High temperatures will climb into the 60s across western Nassau County, while communities closer to the shoreline remain a bit cooler in the 50s thanks to the ocean influence. As the day goes on, expect a few scattered showers to develop late in the afternoon and toward the evening commute.

Cloudy skies continue tonight with areas of fog forming, along with scattered showers. There is even a slight chance of a thunderstorm overnight as a strong cold front approaches. Temperatures will stay fairly mild for this time of year, dropping only into the 40s by morning.

Thursday starts off unsettled with periods of rain showers during the morning. Temperatures will be around 50 degrees early in the day, but colder air will push in through the afternoon. As readings fall into the upper 30s by around 5 p.m., some of those rain showers may mix with wet snow showers before tapering off. By Friday, the system pulls away, bringing partly sunny skies, breezy conditions, and a colder feel with afternoon highs mainly in the 40s.

If you have been noticing your seasonal allergies acting up, you are not alone. Tree pollen is now active and at moderate levels.
