It won't be steadily raining all night and early morning, but there will be scattered times of rain showers and even drizzle from time to time. Temperatures will mostly be in the upper 40s to lower 50s with a lighter breeze. Just have a rain jacket with you, as some scattered showers will continue to move through.

The rain from Wednesday and through the night will not help the current moderate drought for the East End and western Nassau County much, unfortunately. Long Island will need more significant rain events in the coming weeks to start to improve those conditions more drastically. An important update to our local drought conditions will be released Thursday morning.

There can be a few light rain showers through around 8 a.m. Then, sunshine will break out, and it will be a very nice day with highs mostly in the lower to middle 60s under a mostly sunny to partly cloudy sky in the afternoon and early evening.

It is still looking wet on Saturday, especially in the afternoon, with a period of rain. This will be the wetter part of the weekend. Most of Mother's Day Sunday is still looking good, but there can be a few showers into the evening. The morning and afternoon still look nice with a mix of sun and clouds along with warmer weather. High temperatures on Sunday should hit the 70s across much of Long Island.
