Today: Scattered showers with heavier consistent rain for Eastern LI, and thunderstorms which may contain small hail and gusty winds for SEPA and Delaware, a rumble of thunder possible. Before rain tapers off to a drizzle and fog for the evening. Excessive rainfall possible N&W.

Best guess at the Long Range:
Saturday: Highs near 80 and Sunny.
Mother's Day: Low to Mid 70s and Partly Cloudy.
May 12-19: Consistently near or above 80, feeling more like June and very dry other than a day or two of scattered thunderstorms.
May 20-26: More seasonable but still plenty of 70 degree days, and slightly more wet.
May 27-June 3: Slightly below average with some days with highs in the 60s, and possibly a wet end to May/Start to June.
