The National Weather Service has upgraded the risk for rip currents to high across the South Shore of eastern Suffolk County, with multiple reports of rescues today.

Partly cloudy to mostly clear, with lows in the upper 60s to low 70s into early Saturday morning.

Saturday will be the better weekend day. There will be a mix of sun and clouds, with temperatures in the mid-80s, and it will still be humid. It will be dry and decent, but with times of more clouds than sunshine.

Sunday is mostly cloudy. There is the chance for a spotty rain shower in the afternoon and evening, but most of the day is dry until late Sunday night. High temperatures will be in the low 80s and you will still feel the high humidity.

Other than a moderate risk for rip currents at the South Shore beaches, there are no posted advisories for boaters for Saturday.

There is increasing confidence for periods of moderate to heavy rain and a few thunderstorms to arrive Monday morning. For now, plan on Monday being wet, with some dry breaks from time to time. The News 12 Storm Watch Team will keep you updated on Monday's wet weather chance through the weekend on-air, on social media and the News 12 app.

Every Thursday morning, a new update to our local Long Island drought conditions is released. This week, there were not many changes. Most of Long Island is still in a moderate drought. The East End is still in a severe drought. This only takes in data through this past Tuesday. Rain from this Wednesday will be included in next week's update.

Every Thursday, we also have a new update on local water quality here on Long Island. Conditions remain generally good to fair, with only six of the 30 sites tested having poor water quality. You can see where those areas are in the images below. It is important to always check with the local county health departments for more information on where swimming is allowed.
