Severe Weather Risk Western Long Island Late Today Week Ahead Looks Delightful
Most times in the spring, thunderstorms on Long Island tend to fall apart thanks to the wind coming in from off the ocean. I don’t know why it may be different this time. As you get deeper into June and ocean water temperatures warm, the ocean’s stabilizing influence decreases. The Storm Prediction Center has put the western half of Long Island at risk for severe weather.
This favors stronger thunderstorm chances to the west for Nassau County vs Suffolk County. This is typical for this time of year. A north south warm front will try to push eastward and have only limited success. There are some scattered showers and thunderstorms around this morning ahead of the warm front. A cold front will approach this evening with the chance for thunderstorms. In between look for lots of clouds and highs just in the upper 60s and lower 70s at best.

Once the front passes offshore tonight showers end and then we are on our way to some rather delightful weather for the rest of the week. Tuesday look for partly sunny skies with highs in the upper 70s to near 80. Humidity levels will drop to very low readings as dew points head for the 40s Wednesday and Thursday. Look for sunny skies Wednesday through Friday. Highs will be in the 70s each day. Nights will be in the 50s. Highs Friday will be in the upper 70s to around 80. It is a rather straight forward forecast thanks to a strong northwest flow along the East Coast all week long.
Next Saturday brings the next chance for any showers or thunderstorms as a cold front comes through late in the day. It should leave us with a nice dry Father’s Day of sunshine and highs in the 70s to near 80.
