Weekend starts windier and chillier after a passing shower tonight into the morning
You can run into a quick rain shower this evening and through Saturday morning, but the bigger weather story will be a gusty wind and much cooler feel on Saturday before a nicer day on Sunday.

DECENT EVENING WEATHER
While there can be a brief shower, much of the evening is fine with a partly to mostly cloudy sky and temperatures dropping through the 60s.
SPOTTY SHOWER THROUGH SATURDAY A.M.
During the overnight, expect varying amounts of clouds with a cool feel. Lows into Saturday morning will be around the lower to middle 50s. It will be a good idea to have a heavier jacket with you. There will not be much rain, but a passing light shower is possible overnight and through the morning hours.
WINDY AND MUCH COOLER SATURDAY
Other than that chance for a morning rain shower, Saturday will be dry with a mix of sun and clouds, but the weather focus will be on the wind and a much cooler feel. The windiest part of the day will be during the morning through mid-afternoon, with some gusts between 30 and 40 mph. During that time, it can feel chilly. Actual temperatures will be in the middle 50s to lower 60s. It can feel more like the 40s at times during the mid-morning through early afternoon hours when that wind picks up. The wind will subside pretty quickly after around 4 p.m.
DANGEROUS BOATING CONDITIONS SATURDAY
If you have plans for boating on Saturday, I would think about changing those plans, unfortunately! I know this can be tough to read, especially coming off last weekend's bad weather, but water conditions will be rough to start the weekend. There is a gale warning offshore in eastern Suffolk County for both the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound. There is a small craft advisory in effect for the western half of our Long Island coastline. You can see more details of these conditions below. Be safe! Sunday will be much better for boating.
