Hazardous Weather Outlook Issued for Long Island

The National Weather Service has issued a dense fog advisory for Long Island, which will also see some rain and strong winds before what is shaping up to be a pretty nice Easter Sunday.

The dense fog advisory goes into effect at 6 p.m. Friday and lasts until 6 a.m. Saturday. Visibilities on the roadways will be a quarter mile or less at times, the NWS says. The fog will start to dissipate after midnight as the wind increases.

Showers are likely the rest of Friday, with a thunderstorm possible after midnight. Things will dry up on Saturday and the temperature will be near 52, but wind gusts topping 40 mph will make it feel much cooler.

Easter Sunday should see temperatures reach the mid-50s under mostly sunny skies, the NWS says. There is a slight chance of showers after noon on Sunday.
