LI Weekend Weather: Scorching Temperatures As Heat Wave Continues

LONG ISLAND, NY — It's going to be a scorcher of a weekend on Long Island, so it's probably a good weekend to spend swimming at the beach — unless sharks show up again.

It's going to be in the mid 90s all weekend, according to the National Weather Service, with mostly clear skies. But the heat index will make it feel even hotter. There is a heat advisory in effect from today through to Sunday night, so make sure you stay cool.

Tuesday is looking to be back to normal, with a high around 87 degrees.
