The National Weather Service has slightly increased the risk for severe weather, but most of that looks like it will stay to the west, possibly just brushing Nassau County. Rain isn’t expected until later in the afternoon on Saturday. Temperatures will start trending warmer and more humid over the weekend, but here’s the good news: a stretch of comfortable, dry weather is on the way for most if not all of next week. So, if you’re planning to enjoy some early September outdoor activities, the forecast looks pretty favorable. Stay tuned to News12 for the latest updates and timing as we head into the weekend!
