WHAT'S NEW: Say goodbye to that soggy pattern and hello to warmth, sun & light winds for both Thursday and Friday!

WHAT'S NEXT: A cold front approaches Long Island Friday afternoon and evening, bringing a drop in temperatures (but no wet weather) as we go from Friday into Saturday.

Storm Watch Team Meteorologist Addison Green says to get ready for some very different weather the next few days than the soggy conditions we've been seeing recently.

TROPICS: There are two disturbances being monitored by the National Hurricane Center. TWELVE – the tropical depression formed Tuesday afternoon from a wave near the African continent. It is no longer forecast to become our next named storm, JULIA, and will now instead, fade away by the end of the week, staying out in the Eastern Atlantic Ocean. In the Central Atlantic, at the southern end of the Windward Islands, is a disturbance that has a 80% chance of development over the next five days. It will continue moving into the Caribbean Sea as it travels westward.

OVERNIGHT: Mostly cloudy to clearer skies with the rain and wind fading. Lows in the mid-50s.

THURSDAY: *Pick of the week* Mainly sunny skies along with a milder feeling and with just a light breeze! Highs in the low-70s. Lows in the mid- to upper-50s.

FRIDAY: Mostly sunny to partly cloudy with mild temps and a light breeze for most of the day, then the winds pick up later on as a cold front arrives in the afternoon and evening hours. Highs in the low-70s. Lows in the mid-to upper-40s.

THIS WEEKEND: After a 15-degree temperature drop, Saturday will be breezy and feeling colder with conditions improving for Sunday. We will be dry, though, with low to no shower chances. Highs in the upper-50s to low-60s. Lows in the mid- to upper-40s.
