We’re heading into a really nice stretch of weather across Long Island as we close out September and welcome October. We’ll start our Wednesday with some clouds, but sunshine will mix in as we go through the day. Overall, expect a comfortable mixture of sun and clouds with high temperatures generally in the lower 70s. It will be a little cooler toward the East End, where some spots will stay in the upper 60s.
For tonight, clouds will gradually increase, but we’ll stay dry. Overnight lows will fall into the upper 50s and lower 60s. Thursday is looking good with partly sunny skies and even warmer temperatures. Highs will range from about 72 to 77 degrees. Thursday night will feature some clouds at times with partly cloudy skies and lows dropping back into the 50s.
Friday looks like the warmest day of the stretch. We’ll have mostly sunny skies with a few clouds arriving later in the afternoon. Temperatures will climb well into the 70s, and parts of Nassau County and western Suffolk County could even reach the lower 80s. A cold front will move through Friday night, bringing increasing clouds and the chance for a few showers. Behind the front, temperatures will drop into the 50s.
The weekend starts off cooler Saturday. There’s a small chance of an isolated shower before about 8 a.m., but most of Saturday should be dry with a mixture of sun and clouds. High temperatures will only reach the upper 60s. It will be a little breezy at times so have the sweater or jacket handy. Saturday night looks partly cloudy and cool, with overnight lows generally in the 50s.
There is some encouraging news for Sunday. Yesterday, it looked like a storm could have a more direct impact on Long Island, but the latest trend has shifted the system farther away, potentially leaving us with just a glancing blow. For now, we’ll go with partly sunny skies Sunday and only a slight chance of an isolated afternoon shower. High temperatures will remain in the 60s. We’ll continue watching the storm track closely because there is still some uncertainty, and additional shifts are possible as we get closer to the weekend.
