HEADLINES:

Islip hit a new record high of 80 degrees Thursday, making it the warmest Halloween on record. The old record was 73 degrees set back in 2004. However, the warm weather won't stop there.

Overnight temperatures will be 20 degrees or more above normal for this time of year. It will be in the 60s and cloudy for Friday morning with some sprinkles or scattered showers during the morning commute. The umbrella may not be necessary though. As it stands, many of us may not even see measurable rainfall Friday. if we do it is likely to be less than an 0.01 of an inch. So, our drought concerns will continue.

This weekend will be much cooler following a cold front moving in Friday night for the region. Expect seasonable temperatures both at night and during the day with less wind. However, the sunny skies with a few clouds remain the forecast, so the rain we need desperately continues to be absent from our forecast.
