- It will another sunny day today for Long Island with highs in the low to mid 60's, but it will be windy with gusts possibly as high as 30 mph from the NW.
- For Long Island and the entire Tri-State area, from the National Weather Service: There is an enhanced potential for brush fire spread this afternoon into early evening. This is due to the recent dry conditions, relative humidity levels dropping below 30 percent, along with expected frequent wind gusts of 25-30 mph during this period.
- Regarding late this weekend and the upcoming weekend, it will be cloudy, but there many not be much rain at all on Long Island. The best chance of a few light showers around Friday night into Saturday afternoon would be for western Long Island. The Euro actually keeps all of Long Island dry for the next 9 days, but of course, it bears watching in case there are any changes. Also, the GFS does show rain for Long Island for Friday night and Saturday.
