THIS EVENING
After another beautiful day of weather on Long Island, this evening is still nice and mostly clear. It is breezy with temperatures in the upper 50s to lower 60s.
OVERNIGHT
It is going to be so much more comfortable overnight into Thursday morning than last night! Low temperatures will be in the middle to upper 50s under a mostly clear sky.
NEXT RAIN CHANCE RELATED TO ISAIAS
Tropical Storm Isaias (ees-ah-EE-ahs) is churning and strengthening in the Gulf. As of 5 p.m. today, the storm is just shy of hurricane strength with top winds around 65 mph. This storm is important to Long Island because the remnant moisture in the form of steady rain from this will reach the Island by Sunday afternoon through midday Monday next week.
This storm will track inland from the Gulf and weaken, but that rain from this will get pushed into the northeast and Long Island by late Sunday into Monday. This will not be a tropical storm or hurricane with major impacts for Long Island thankfully, but slower travel and impacts to holiday events are to be expected. A likely worst-case scenario on Long Island would be 1 to 2 inches of rain and a very wet Sunday evening into part of Monday next week.

The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you updated on this through the week.
