Long Island will remain in a stretch of warm, humid weather for the rest of the weekend, according to the National Weather Service.
A heat advisory for Saturday was set to expire at 8 p.m. Temperatures are expected to fall into the mid-70s overnight, with a slight chance of an isolated shower or thunderstorm, weather service meteorologist Brian Ciemnecki said early Saturday evening.
While forecasters had flagged the potential for severe thunderstorms rolling through New York City to hit parts of Nassau Saturday, activity had mostly dissipated by early evening, Ciemnecki said.
“There are still maybe some light showers out there, and there were a couple of showers that developed on the North Shore, so it’s pretty isolated,” he said. “But for the most part, we’re looking at mainly dry conditions.”
Weather in New York City on Saturday delayed flights at both Kennedy Airport and LaGuardia Airport, according to FlightAware's flight tracker. At 9:20 p.m., Kennedy's departing flights were delayed by an average of 50 minutes, while the average departure delay at LaGuardia was 1 hour and 45 minutes.
On Long Island, Sunday will bring mostly sunny skies and another warm day, with highs in the upper 80s to lower 90s, Ciemnecki said.
“It’s going to remain hot and humid,” he added. “Maybe a little less humid than today, but I think it’s still going to feel humid out.”
Monday is forecast to be another dry day with highs in the upper 80s, with some areas possibly reaching the low 90s, Ciemnecki said. There is a slight chance for showers Monday night, and more showers and thunderstorms are possible Tuesday afternoon, with highs again in the upper 80s, he said.
