SOUTH SHORE, OCEAN FOG TONIGHT
A dense fog advisory is in effect for the local Atlantic Ocean waters until midnight. This will mostly affect boating, but some areas of fog will be around the South Shore and East End, too. Use caution if you encounter any and avoid boating in this area tonight with low visibility expected.
CLEARING SKY OVERNIGHT
Any shower that moves through before midnight is ahead of a cold front that moves across Long Island tonight. That will eventually clear out the sky overnight and into early Thursday morning. Lows will reach the upper 50s across most of Nassau and Suffolk Counties into early Thursday.
