Long Island weather: Chance of storms Thursday night, high winds Friday

There is a chance of storms in parts of Long Island Thursday evening and overnight into Friday, when a high wind warning takes effect, the National Weather Service said.

Showers and thunderstorms are "likely" for some areas Thursday evening and they will continue, on and off, through the night.

There is a coastal advisory for southern Nassau from 10 p.m. to 2 a.m. with "minor" flooding expected in locations near the waterfront or shorelines, the weather service said.

And while Friday will eventually clear up with sunny skies, high winds are expected, forecasters said.

There is a wind advisory for Nassau and Northwestern Suffolk, from 10 a.m. Friday until midnight with west winds 25 to 35 mph with gusts up to 55 mph expected. The gusty winds could result in power outages, forecasters warned.

The daytime high for Friday will be in the upper 60s, the weather service said. And Friday night will be a chilly one, thanks to a cold front, dropping into the 40s.

Saturday should be sunny with a daytime high of 63 degrees. Sunday will be much the same but a warmer 67 degrees, the weather service predicted

Monday will see the sunshine filtered through clouds and thermometers should climb to 70 degrees during the day, the weather service said.

Tuesday and Wednesday, however, have a 30% chance of rain. Daytime highs should be just a few degrees cooler, according to the weather service.
