ALERT: FREEZE WARNING FOR SUFFOLK THROUGH 9 A.M.

A cold start to the day with a freeze warning in effect for Suffolk County through 9 a.m. Temperatures are waking up in the 20s and 30s, so it’s definitely a bundle-up kind of morning. Sunshine will take over as we head through the early part of the day, but expect some clouds to build in by the afternoon. Even with the sun, it stays on the cool side, with highs only reaching the upper 40s and lower 50s.

As we head into tonight, clouds will thicken up, and we’ll see showers begin to develop overnight. It won’t be as cold, with lows settling into the 40s. Roads could turn a bit damp late, so just keep that in mind if you’re out and about.

For Wednesday, keep the umbrella handy. It’s looking like a gray and unsettled day with on-and-off rain showers throughout. Temperatures will climb into the 50s despite the clouds and rain.

Looking ahead, we do have some nicer weather on the way. Thursday and Friday both bring a return to sunshine with highs warming into the 60s — a welcome change. As we head into the weekend, we’ll be tracking the chance for more wet weather, with temperatures easing back into the 50s.

Today: Mostly Sunny with some late day clouds. Highs near 50. North wind 5 to 15 mph becoming south in the afternoon.
