Chance for spotty showers Thursday ahead of sunny, humid Friday

There will be a hazy and reddish sky as wildfire smoke from Canada drifts toward Long Island on Thursday. It will not pose a threat to the air quality.
Small shower chances are around in the afternoon and early evening hours Thursday.
Friday is mostly sunny but will feel muggier than it has in the past several days.
A storm system will move in from the west and aid in the rising weekend rain chances. On-and-off rain is expected for Sunday with showers arriving in the late afternoon to evening hours Saturday.
Hurricane Ernesto will move away from Puerto Rico and head north towards Bermuda over the next several days, where it will continue to strengthen along the way. It does not pose a threat to the northeast but will churn up wave activity in the Atlantic Ocean and Long Island Sound, as well as create breezy winds Sunday and Monday.
