Long Island forecast: Chance of showers each day this week except Thursday

Showers will be around on and off for most of the week, forecasters said, although temperatures will be seasonably mild.

Monday’s high is expected to hit the lower 70s, with a slight chance of showers after 2 p.m., the weather service said. Showers and possible storms are considered likely Monday overnight and into Tuesday morning, the National Weather Service said.

The chance of rain decreases Tuesday to 30% with otherwise partly sunny skies and temperatures in the mid-70s. Then it rises to about 60% Wednesday with temperatures in the upper 60s and a low at night of 49, when rain is considered only 30% likely.

Thursday, the only expected dry day, will bring a daytime high in the mid-60s with sunny skies and a nighttime low of 47, the weather service said.

Friday and Saturday will see a 30% chance of rain with highs in the lower 60s both days.
