Hazardous Weather Outlook in Effect for Long Island

Long Island is under a hazardous weather outlook with a dense fog advisory in effect until midnight, according to the National Weather Service.

Visibilities on the roadways may drop to a quarter mile or less at times and cause hazardous travel conditions, the advisory says.

If driving, the NWS urges travelers to slow down, use low beam headlights and leave plenty of distance ahead in case a sudden stop is needed.

A line of thunderstorms may also impact the region Thursday night, with gusty winds, thunder and heavy rainfall possible, the NWS says.

Things will stay wet on Friday as rain is likely before 3 p.m. and then a slight chance of rain for the rest of the day.

A system developing offshore may bring some snow showers, along with rain, on Saturday, the NWS says. No snow accumulation is expected.
