Partly to mostly cloudy with a few light rain showers, mainly along the South Shore. Areas of locally dense fog develop. Temperatures drop from the 40s into the 30s. Areas along the North Shore and around the Hamptons and Pine Barrens of Suffolk County can drop below freezing overnight. That can lead to a few slippery spots from any drizzle or mist freezing on the ground in these areas. Use caution, but most road conditions are expected to stay wet.

THURSDAY MORNING: After 7 a.m. Thursday, all temperatures will be above freezing, but a few slippery spots will be possible early. Expect a round of moderate to heavy rain in the morning, which will impact the morning commute.

THURSDAY AFTERNOON: Lighter rain and drizzle will be around during the afternoon. Temperatures will be in the upper 30s to near 40 degrees.

THURSDAY NIGHT: Then, another round of moderate to heavy rain returns at night, mainly after 9 p.m.

FRIDAY MORNING: Rain tapers off early Friday morning, mostly before 6 a.m. It will stay mostly cloudy, but be drier in the afternoon. Highs will be 40 to 45 degrees.

IMPACTS: The continued snow melt and rainy weather will cause some new large puddles. Be alert for the changing road conditions. If you hit a larger puddle too quickly when driving, hydroplaning will be possible. Up to around 1.5 inches of rain will be possible from Thursday through 6 a.m. Friday.

Potholes can be more difficult to see when they are filled with water. There will be larger puddles around again Thursday into Friday morning due to more rain and more melting snow. Potholes can always be a problem this time of year, especially with daytime warming above freezing and overnight refreezing some nights. If you notice any trouble spots near you, please continue to let News 12 know.

Saturday's temperatures may end up being held in the middle to upper 40s with more of an overcast sky expected now with a spotty rain shower. Sunday will be the warmer of the two weekend days. After a spotty morning shower, some breaks of sun develop on Sunday with high temperatures in the 50s. Highs in the 50s to near 60 in spots will continue through next Thursday. The nicest of those days will be Monday and Tuesday before a few rain shower chances return Wednesday into Thursday.

There are signs that after a cold front moves through next Thursday evening, temperatures will likely get chillier for next Friday. This is how March can be, but at least we are getting some more consistent warmer temperatures for much of next week. The normal average high temperature for this time of year is around 45 degrees.

This is a reminder to "spring forward" one hour on Sunday at 2 a.m. Sunrise on Sunday morning will be at 7:15 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:51 p.m.
