THIS EVENING:

Partly to mostly cloudy with a few light rain showers, mainly along the South Shore. Areas of fog develop. Temperatures drop from the 40s into the 30s. Areas along the North Shore and around the Hamptons and Pine Barrens of Suffolk County can drop below freezing overnight. That can lead to a few slippery spots from any drizzle or mist freezing on the ground in these areas. Use caution, but most road conditions are expected to stay wet.

WET THURSDAY AHEAD

After 7 a.m, Thursday, all temperatures will be above freezing, staying in the mid- to upper 30s, with rain throughout the day. Expect a round of moderate to heavy rain in the morning, which will impact the morning commute. Lighter rain and drizzle will be around during the afternoon. Then, another round of moderate to heavy rain returns at night, mainly after 9 p.m. The continued snow melt and rainy weather can cause some new large puddles. Be alert for changing road conditions.
Rain tapers off early Friday morning, mostly before 6 a.m. It will stay mostly cloudy, but be drier in the afternoon. Highs will be 40 to 45 degrees.

POTHOLE PROBLEMS

Potholes can be more difficult to see when they are filled with water. There will be larger puddles around at times this week due to rain chances and more melting snow. Potholes can always be a problem this time of year, especially with daytime warming above freezing and overnight refreezing some nights. If you notice any trouble spots near you, please continue to let News 12 know.

WARMER WEEKEND WEATHER

While an isolated rain shower cannot be ruled out on Saturday and Sunday, both days should be mainly dry overall with high temperatures in the 50s for most of Long Island. Nassau County and parts of western Suffolk County can get close to 60 degrees by Sunday! It looks like those high temperatures, mostly in the 50s, will continue through most of next week, too.

DAYLIGHT SAVING TIME BEGINS SUNDAY

This is a reminder to "spring forward" one hour on Sunday at 2 a.m. Sunrise on Sunday morning will be at 7:15 a.m. and sunset will be at 6:51 p.m.
