LI weather: Chance of rain Friday before skies clear for weekend

Long Island could see periods of rain Friday before it gets to enjoy a weekend of clear skies.

The weather service said Thursday night that on Friday there will be a 30% chance of showers along with areas of fog before 11 a.m. before the clouds give way to a mostly sunny sky. The high temperature will be about 75 degrees — two degrees higher that the normal high for the date in Islip. A 6 mph northwest wind should become light and variable.

That chance of precipitation Friday could put a damper on those who want to celebrate World Bicycle Day as declared by the United Nations.

Friday night should be partly cloudy, with a low temperature of around 59 degrees.

Both Saturday and Sunday will be sunny, the weather service said. The high temperature is expected to be 76 degrees Saturday and 74 degrees Sunday.

The start of the workweek Monday should be mostly sunny but Tuesday's forecast includes a 30% chance of showers. The high temperatures on Monday and Tuesday will be in the low 70s, the weather service said.
