We’re looking at a pretty decent day overall, with partly sunny to mostly cloudy skies helping temperatures climb to around 50 degrees this afternoon. It’s a nice, seasonable feel out there — not too cold, not too warm — so a good opportunity to get outside if you can catch a few of those sunny breaks.

For tonight, clouds will take over, and we’ll be watching for some spotty rain showers developing late. It won’t be a washout, but you may run into a few damp spots if you’re out and about. Temperatures will settle back to around 40 degrees by early Thursday morning.

Heading into Thursday, some morning rain showers, we’ll keep a mix of sun and clouds with a noticeable warm-up. Most areas will reach the 50s, but parts of western Nassau County could surge into the upper 60s. It’ll also turn a bit breezy, with a southwest wind between 10 and 20 miles per hour. By Thursday night, rain becomes more widespread, with overnight lows holding in the 40s.

That rain lingers into Friday morning with periods of showers and plenty of clouds to start the day. We should see some gradual clearing later on, with highs near 50 degrees. Looking ahead to the weekend, sunshine returns, but it’ll be on the cooler side, with temperatures staying in the 40s both Saturday and Sunday.

Tree pollen will continue to be at moderate-to-high levels on Wednesday. This is, of course, only the start of spring allergy season. If you typically suffer from allergies this time of year, there is a good chance you have been feeling it for a couple of weeks already. The season always starts with tree pollen, followed by grass and weeds into late spring and summer and ragweed mid- to late summer.
