Cloud Issues Friday Warm Fathers Day Weekend

This was quite the day on Long Island. We had sunshine from start to finish and for the first time in over a week, the wind was not from off the ocean but from the northwest. That’s how all of Long Island gets warm and temperatures reached the low to mid 80s everywhere, even at the shore. The satellite loop shows clear skies overhead and we should be clear tonight but notice there are clouds to the north and northeast. This is due to strong Low Pressure sitting off the coast of Northeast Maine and that low is not moving very much. Those clouds could come in from the northeast on Friday which would make for a partly sunny cooler day with highs in the 70s. This is really the only issue going forward for the weekend. I don’t think it will be too problematic.

EASTERN SATELLITE LOOP

Even with all those clouds the radars are nice and quiet and I expect that to continue over the next few days with little if any chance for rain. Saturday and Sunday we will see sunshine and warm temperatures. Humidity levels will be comfortable through Saturday and while they will rise a bit on Sunday, it will still be reasonably comfortable.

Monday will be the hot humid day with our first trip into the 90s especially in Nassau & Northwest Suffolk County with mostly mid and upper 80s elsewhere and 70s to near 80 at the shore. Thunderstorms won’t be an issue until Monday evening at the earliest.

Here is the Long Island Marine Forecast from the National Weather Service.
