After rain ended across Long Island by around 10:30 a.m., it was a decent mid-November afternoon with temperatures still slightly below average in the mid to upper 40s across much of Nassau and Suffolk Counties. The normal average high is down to 52 degrees now.

Through this evening, have a winter coat! It will stay dry, but temperatures will be dropping into the 30s. Clouds will increase overnight.

Plan on a cold feeling start to Thursday morning, but thankfully the wind stays pretty light.

Overall, Thursday will be a nice day with varying amounts of clouds and breaks of sunshine. Highs will mostly stay in the upper 40s again.

A slight warmup begins on Friday as high temperatures return to the 50s. Most of Friday will be dry, but a quick round of rain showers will arrive late Friday night towards midnight and linger through mid-morning on Saturday.

Saturday afternoon through the rest of the weekend will be nice!

Monday will be great, but we are watching the chance for a period of steady moderate rain to move in on Tuesday afternoon and possibly linger through the first part of Wednesday. Please keep this in mind if you are traveling.

Of course, the entire News 12 Storm Watch Team will be on top of all of the weather conditions for Thanksgiving week for you on-air, on social media and here on our website and the FREE News 12 APP.

Have a great evening!
