WET FIRST EVENING OF SPRING

It was a gorgeous and seasonable start to the day with mid-afternoon temperatures near 50 degrees, but keep an umbrella and rain jacket with you this evening. Light, to sometimes moderate, rain is moving through Long Island now. It is a bit windy, too, with sustained wind generally between 15 and 25 mph. Scattered gusts will range between 25 and 35 mph before subsiding towards and after midnight.
Any steadier rain will begin to taper off between around 10 p.m. and midnight, with just a few spotty lingering showers through around 2 a.m. Temperatures will mostly be in the mid-40s with the rain falling. You can see the progression of tonight's rain in the future radar below.
