FORECAST DETAILS:
Rain showers will continue through the early part of tonight before gradually tapering overnight across Long Island. As winds relax and skies partially clear, areas of patchy fog are expected to develop late tonight into early Sunday morning, which could lower visibility for early Mother’s Day travel.
Mother’s Day morning will begin mostly cloudy, but much of the day is expected to remain dry for many neighborhoods. Still, there will be the chance for a few isolated showers or a brief thunderstorm between 11 a.m. and 3 p.m. While not everyone will see rain, a few communities could experience a quick interruption to outdoor brunches, walks or celebrations.
Skies will begin to partially clear Sunday evening, but another round of scattered rain showers could develop overnight Sunday into early Monday morning. The rain is not expected to be widespread or particularly heavy, but a few passing showers may greet some residents for the Monday morning commute.
Outside of a stray shower chance Monday morning, much of early next week looks mainly dry. Temperatures will remain slightly cooler than normal for this time of year through at least the middle of the week.
Attention then turns toward the second half of next week. From Wednesday through Friday, Long Island will see increasing chances for rain, along with the potential for thunderstorms Thursday. Forecast details, including timing and storm strength, will become clearer early next week as the weather pattern develops.
