Here are some simple tips below to help our planet that you can incorporate throughout the year, not just on Earth Day. Even what seem like small things can add up and allow for a more environmentally friendly world.

Not bad! Mostly cloudy with a spotty light rain shower chance until midnight. Most of the evening is dry with temperatures dropping into the 40s. Just have a light coat with you this evening. There will be more breaks in the clouds developing overnight and into Thursday morning. Lows tomorrow morning will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s. There is a chance for patchy fog into the early morning, too.

It is going to be a spectacular day. Mostly sunny in the morning with some more clouds mixing in during the afternoon. It will feel much warmer with highs in the 60s to the lower 70s. It will be coolest along the South Shore and East End. It will be warmest - lower 70s - in Nassau County. Tree pollen counts will be back to very high levels so you will likely notice your seasonal allergies. The UV index will be high, so use sunscreen to avoid getting a sunburn in less than 30 minutes. Enjoy!

If you are making weekend plans, keep in mind that Saturday is looking like a pretty wet day at this time. Long Island needs the rain, but it does look like outdoor activities will be impacted by times of light to moderate rain on Saturday, with temperatures back down into the 50s. This could end up being a beneficial half an inch to 1 inch of rain. Western Nassau County is still in a moderate drought, and the rest of Long Island is still experiencing abnormally dry conditions. An update to the current drought report comes out Thursday morning.

TONIGHT: Mostly cloudy with a quick, light rain shower before midnight. Then, clouds gradually clear overnight with patchy fog possible. Lows early Thursday morning will be in the upper 30s to lower 40s.
