STORM WATCH: Windy with scattered rain tonight; colder weekend ahead

Good evening, Long Island. We continue to watch a chance for additional showers and thunderstorms into the evening. Couple of those could just be on the stronger side, especially in Nassau County. Towards that 7 o'clock hour this evening. Right now, really nothing going on. We have some breaks in the clouds after we had the showers this morning. We ended up with some nicer weather as expected. Now we're tracking a line of strong thunderstorms just off to the north and West, so Nassau County has a severe thunderstorm watch. That doesn't mean severe weather is going to happen. It means there's a slight chance for storm to come through parts of Nassau County with gusts over 40 or 50 miles per hour. So it's an outside chance even for Nassau County, but the chances is there figure between around 7 to 8 o'clock or so this evening. Here's future cast as we take a look right now. It is quiet, although a little bit breezy and it will stay a little bit on the windy side with gusts 15 to 30 miles per hour, regardless of any thunderstorms. As we head towards that 7 o'clock hour, Nassau County will have the best chance for seeing that stronger thunderstorm. I do expect this line to be weakening as it's approaching and moving through Long Island. So a lot of Long Island will just really notice a quick pop in the wind gusts. You might think, oh, where did that wind gusts come from? And you might not have a whole lot of rain with it, but this was a line of thunderstorms that did have severe weather associated with it that's just weakening over Long Island. So you might have to slow it down a little bit in terms of travel this evening. Scattered downpours can be around through the mid-evening hours, but it's really just going to be light to moderate rain showers that will persist overnight and into early on Saturday morning we won't completely dry out until figure between six and eight in the morning on Saturday and then it's still windy and colder feeling but not a whole lot in terms of rain amounts for Long Island less than a half inch with this it's more about the the increase in the wind as that line comes through feels like temperatures will be in the upper 30s to low 40s tomorrow morning and that's not the coldest part of the weekend but it will be chilly all weekend long it'll feel like the 30s Sunday morning Sunday afternoon. Better less wind in the mid fifties all of next week right now looking nice with highs in the sixties
