'Remarkably Cooler' Weather For Long Island This Weekend

Friday is the second of fall, but Mother Nature is going to wait one more day before switching its season gears.

Temperatures are expected to reach the mid-80s on Long Island Friday and it may very well end up being the last decent beach day (if you can skip out of work) until next summer. Because once Saturday rolls around, there will be a very noticeable fall chill in the air.

The National Weather Service says it will be "remarkably cooler" on Saturday as temperatures will struggle to get out of the 60s. And on Saturday night, you may actually need to crank on the heat a little bit as the mercury drops into the 40s on some parts of the island.

"A cold front will drop southward from Canada this weekend, ushering in the coolest air in months across the Northeast and mid-Atlantic," AccuWeather Meteorologist Matt Rinde says.

High temperatures will hover around 70 on Sunday and through most of next week, the NWS says.

Here's the full forecast:

Friday: Mostly sunny, with a high near 84. Calm wind becoming southwest 5 to 9 mph in the morning.

Friday Night: Scattered showers and thunderstorms. Mostly cloudy, with a low around 62. Light and variable wind becoming northeast 9 to 14 mph after midnight. Chance of precipitation is 30%.
