It was a great day of weather on Long Island today - hopefully you had a chance to enjoy it. Temperatures were in the upper 50s and low 60s this afternoon with a mostly sunny sky. The weekend will be cooler than average with cloudy skies and a spotty shower on Saturday, followed by drier weather on Sunday. Next week will start very warm but breezy.
EVENING WEATHER
Clouds gradually increase with comfortable temperatures in the 50s and a light, but noticeable breeze. It will stay mostly dry before midnight.
FULL MOON TONIGHT
Before it becomes too cloudy, you will be able to see the full "flower moon" this evening -- it is also a "micromoon," meaning it is farther away from Earth and will appear slightly smaller and dimmer than usual when it is high up in the sky.

RAIN SHOWERS ARRIVE OVERNIGHT
If you will be out after midnight or getting an early start before 8 a.m. Saturday morning, have a rain jacket and umbrella. There will be scattered light to moderate rain during that time. Overnight lows will be in the middle to upper 40s into Saturday morning.
SATURDAY SHOWER CHANCES
After spotty rain showers early in the morning, it will stay mostly cloudy with some hints of sun possible from mid-morning through the afternoon. Highs will be in the 50s. There will be a storm passing south and east of Long Island later in the day Saturday. While the bulk of that rain misses us, there is a chance that some light showers return in the evening and night. That said, Saturday is far from a complete washout.
NICER WEATHER SUNDAY
Sunday will be the better weekend weather day. Expect a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky with high temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s. Enjoy!
