Saturday
A much nicer day takes shape with a mix of sunshine and clouds along with warmer temperatures across the Island. Afternoon highs rise into the 70s to near 80, although south shore communities and east end locations will stay a bit cooler thanks to the ocean breeze. Humidity remains comfortable.

Sunday
Summer-like warmth builds across Long Island, with many inland areas climbing into the 80s. Beach communities will stay somewhat cooler, but it will still feel very warm for May. Most of the day looks dry with just a small chance of an isolated shower.
Early Next Week
The warm weather continues Monday through Wednesday with temperatures running well above normal. Some inland spots could approach the 80s during the middle of next week, while coastal communities remain a bit cooler thanks to the nearby ocean.
Water Safety Reminder
The weather may look perfect for boating, kayaking, and spending time on the water this weekend, but water temperatures around Long Island are still only in the lower 50s. Falling into water this cold can quickly lead to hypothermia, so extra caution is strongly advised for anyone heading out on the water.
