SCATTERED RAIN THIS EVENING AND TONIGHT

Keep a rain jacket and umbrella with you this evening. There are off and on rain showers scattered across Long Island that will continue to be the case through tonight. A quick downpour with a rumble of thunder cannot be ruled out, but these are mostly light to moderate rain showers. Temperatures are still warm in spots but dropping through the 50s during the evening and eventually lows will reach the lower 40s all across Nassau and Suffolk Counties into Thursday morning with even some areas of fog. It will also become breezy overnight with some wind gusts near 25 mph, mostly after midnight.

TODAY'S RECORD WARMTH

It was once again a day with a wide range of temperatures. Much of Long Island got to experience temperatures well into the 60s and 70s, but the East End stayed in the 40s and 50s. Islip broke the previous high temperature record for today's date before noon! A high of 72 degrees was recorded at Islip MacArthur Airport, breaking the previous record by five degrees. Hopefully you got to enjoy some outdoor time between a few raindrops today.

MUCH DIFFERENT WEATHER THURSDAY

Tomorrow is going to feel much colder no matter where you are on Long Island. It will quite honestly feel chilly all day with highs in the lower to middle 40s with cloudy and breezy weather all day. There can even be some patchy fog around.
There will also be an ongoing chance for spotty light rain showers and drizzle at any point in the day on Thursday, but it is not raining steadily all day.
Lows Thursday night will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s with a few scattered light rain showers still.
