Saturday was mostly dry across Long Island, but coastal hazards are likely to increase into early next week, meteorologists said.
The weather service on Saturday night issued a high rip current risk through Sunday evening for the ocean beaches of Long Island.
There will also be a high surf advisory from 11 a.m. Sunday to 6 p.m. Monday, with minor coastal flooding possible at high tide, the weather service said.
Peter Wichrowski, a meteorologist with the National Weather Service in Upton, said Saturday night will be mainly dry and temperatures will drop into the upper 50s — far below last week's temperatures that felt like 100 degrees or more.
The humidity will begin to increase Monday and temperatures will warm up into the mid-70s, Wichrowski said.
There is a pretty good chance of rain Monday — heavy at times — as the warmth moves through the Island, Wichrowski said.
