LI forecast: Cloudy with chilly temps on Tuesday

Tuesday brings cloudy skies on Long Island, with temperatures heading up to around 47 degrees, forecasters say.

The day is expected to “feature more clouds than sun,” and a continuation of chilly temperatures, the National Weather Service said in its regional summary, issued late Monday afternoon. The afternoon also brings the chance of a passing shower.

Indeed, “temperatures most of the week will be cooler than normal,” said Rich Hoffman, News 12 Long Island meteorologist, pointing to 54 degrees as Tuesday’s normal high and 38 as the normal low.

Both Wednesday and Thursday were expected to warm up to the low to mid-50s, under partly sunny skies.

The next chance for precipitation comes overnight Wednesday into Thursday with a 30 percent chance of showers, the weather service said.
