Wise has been quite an eventful day here in Long Island. We had the smoke
this morning. We had the rain during the afternoon time and we do have a
little bit of more rain coming through one more wave before we're all done and
by then when things do clear out, we'll find a beautiful day shaping up for
sunday. Good day to get out there and enjoy the nice weather which will be
returning and Tuesday and Wednesday. It looks like another shot of rain could
be heading our way. Now the we're a bit of a break right now with the rain,
the rain basically pushing off to the south, but one more wave of rain,
really two more waves coming through one around 8 30. It will be primarily
southern portions of Nassau and Suffolk County. You'll probably get some

at a very little chance of rain on sunday and monday, but a 65% chance on
Tuesday and 55 on Wednesday. So another bout of rain coming our way by mid
week. All right. So for the balance of your evening and overnight again, two
more rounds of rain coming through 1 to 8 30 or so and one about 11 o'clock.
Then things begin to clear out, turning less humid later on the evening. As far
as our sunday goes becoming sunny, noticeably less humid temperatures
topping out close to 80 degrees. Boating wise, be a little bit careful. We do
have a small craft advisory in effect for those northwest winds at 10 to 20
wave heights, a little bit dizzy on the ocean of 3 to 6 ft and our extended
forecast. We highlight sunday as a much better day monday night to showers
for Tuesday and Wednesday and then drying out for
