Long Island forecast: After early heavy rains, sunshine with a slight chance of storms

A fast-moving storm that pelted Long Island with heavy rain early Friday has moved out, leaving sunshine in its wake.

The forecast still includes a slight risk — between 2% and 4% — of a thunderstorms Friday afternoon. 

There’s also an increased risk all day Friday of danger from rip tides on Long Island's ocean beaches, according to the weather service.

"Anyone visiting the beaches should stay out of the surf. Rip currents can sweep even the best swimmers away from shore into deeper water," the weather service said.

Sunshine is expected to dominate Friday and over the weekend and temperatures on Long Island Friday are expected to peak at around 85 and then 80 on Saturday. Highs Sunday and Monday will be in the high 80s and it's expected to be mostly sunny.
