Long Island Memorial Day Weekend Weather: A Mixed Bag

Overall, it will be a pretty nice Memorial Day weekend on Long Island weather-wise.

Saturday and Sunday will be the best bets for outdoor activities, including for the immensely popular Bethpage Air Show at Jones Beach.

The chances for rain on Memorial Day Monday have been increasing and the National Weather Service now says it expects it to be raining across the region on Monday morning. Don't cancel that barbecue, though. The odds of rain will decrease Monday afternoon.

A developing tropical system northeast of the Bahamas may turn into Bonnie–the second named storm of the season–and affect portions of the mid-Atlantic coast over the weekend, but the storm system is not currently expected to impact Long Island.

Here's the full Long Island forecast:

Friday- Mostly sunny, with a high near 78. South wind 9 to 15 mph.
