THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
Clouds and showers certainly have been slow to exit today and there is still the chance for a passing shower or patchy drizzle through the evening, but otherwise it will be mainly dry, with more clouds than clear sky.
There is an area of rain north and west of Long Island that will mostly weaken as it gets closer to the Island, but a shower or two from that cannot be ruled out through mid-evening while the East End will continue to gradually dry out from the lingering showers and drizzle that have been present there all day. Temperatures will mostly be in the 70s during the evening, with high humidity.
Areas of patchy fog can reduce visibility during the overnight hours into early Tuesday morning. There is a small chance for a shower, but most of the overnight will be dry and muggy.

Here is a look at the latest future radar for Long Island that shows drier weather, with a bit more sunshine moving in for Tuesday.
