Long Island is getting hit with two rounds of rain this weekend, but it should clear up by Monday, according to the National Weather Service.
After a rainy Saturday, Sunday will feature fog and light rain from 8 a.m. to 2 p.m. Heavier showers will pick up again in the afternoon, according to the National Weather Service.
Sunday's high will be 61 degrees and drop to about 49 at night.
“It’s going to be a pretty wet weekend, anyone who has outdoor activities may want to consider staying indoors unless the point of the activity is supposed to be in the rain,” weather service meteorologist Bryan Ramsey said. “Other than that, maybe have an indoor movie day.”
Across Long Island, 1 to 3 inches of rain fell from Friday into late Saturday. Another 1 to 2 inches are expected Sunday.
While the region is expected to get sun on Monday, the rest of the week may also experience more rain.
There will be sunny skies on Monday with a high near 60 degrees and a low of 47. A mostly cloudy Tuesday will bring a 50% chance of rain, with temperatures expected to hit a high of 57 degrees and a low of 44.
There is also a 40% chance of rain after 2 p.m. on Wednesday, when it will reach around 57 degrees and dip to about 45 at night.
Thursday will be partly sunny with temperatures similar to Wednesday. There’s another chance of showers on Friday.
