ISAIAS REMNANTS TO BRING RAINY END TO WEEKEND
Hurricane Isaias (ees-ah-EE-ahs), the first Atlantic hurricane of the 2026 season, is churning in the Gulf and expected to make landfall Friday night. This storm is important to Long Island because the remnant moisture in the form of mostly light to moderate steady rain will reach the Island by Sunday afternoon through midday Monday.
This storm will track inland from the Gulf and quickly weaken, but leftover rain from this will get pushed into the northeast and Long Island by late Sunday into Monday. This will not be a major storm by the time it reaches Long Island and some of the heaviest nearby rain is likely to stay south of Long Island.
Major impacts are not expected locally. However, it will be wet and breezy, with up to 1 inch of rain expected. So, there will be impacts to fall and weekend holiday festivities and travel plans late Sunday evening through Monday morning.
