Showers, isolated thunderstorm through mid-evening as warm and humid weather continues

On this very humid Thursday, parts of Long Island getting some of those showers and downpours. We've been talking about the possibility for today and really just hugging the South Shore beaches over towards Long Beach Point. Look out out to Gilgo and Robert Moses looking at some moderate to heavy rain just right along the shoreline there. Earlier there were a few lightning flashes over the Atlantic Ocean. That's no longer the case, but I do want to widen things out a little bit for you. We've actually been missing out on the worst weather this afternoon. That's off to our South and West. I'll keep an eye on that. Heavy, slow moving thunderstorm for you, but in parts of New Jersey, you've been getting really, really hit hard as that kind of approaches Long Island. There will continue to be some weakening to that, and so that's why you can almost see here on radar. These showers kind of putting on the brakes in central Suffolk County. We expect that weakening trend as these try to move eastward across Long Island to continue. To happen, but from this point through early evening, you can run into a shower and isolated downpour with a rumble of thunder. That's possible through around 6 or 7 o'clock, but we are not expecting too much of any intense weather here on Long Island, but you might have to slow it down from time to time with a brief downpour. Temperatures middle and upper 70s. That is it, but it's the humidity that you feel instantly so tropical feeling outside, and it's in part all that humidity that's helping to spark off some of these showers and isolated downpours. Bit breezy to with the gusts to around 20 mph or so. So temperatures today upper 70s, maybe some lower 80s showers. Can't rule out an isolated thunderstorm, but otherwise a downpour in Nassau and Western Suffolk. It'll be dry this evening and overnight after around 7 o'clock and then looking ahead here into the weekend. Can't rule out a shower or thunderstorm on a hot and humid day tomorrow. The weekend through most of next week, looking mostly dry but hot back in the 90s next Wednesday.
