And another storm watch update that we have going on for us just a reminder. So we have a flood watch in effect through one pm Monday for all of Long Island and on top of it, we have a high wind warning in effect for Suffolk County until we get into about 11 a.m. for Monday. Now, we could be seeing wind gusts between 45 to 55 MPH, but some areas we can't even rule out reaching 60 MPH as in gusts as we get into the overnight. And for our early Monday morning, we are expecting wind speeds to be sustained between 25 to 35 MPH and just take a look at how things are as of right now, along much of the South shore, we are already starting to see some pretty strong winds around 33 MPH. Gusts for Oceanside, Farmingdale Islip and Shirley are still sustaining about 26 MPH winds and we are expecting those to strengthen as we get into the rest of tonight. But again, here's the storm system that's just really just been stalled out throughout much of the east coast continuing to pump in not only rain but strong winds across Long Island. Now, the good news is as of right now, we're not dealing with much in regards to rain, especially for the eastern side of what we have on Long Island, but we are expecting the rain to continue to build as we get into the next several hours. Especially once we get around 10 o'clock, we're looking for a bit more of that rain to not only just be lights but heavy rainfall from Glen Cove to Huntington and even for Hempstead. Now, from Nassau County over towards the western side of Suffolk County, we're looking at this to be a slow moving band of heavy rainfall that will continue to stretch its way across Long Island, which is why our concerns for flooding are mainly going to be overnight and into a very early Monday morning, which could again impact your Monday morning commute because we are gonna still see some heavy and even consistent rainfall throughout our early m Monday morning around sunrise. And even around seven o'clock, we're still dealing with a bit of some rain as well, but you could take notes that it's not only it's gonna be wet, but it also will be colder as temperatures will drop into the forties by sunrise. Now, gusting winds again, near 60 MPH are possible along the South shore and southern parts of Long Island and tomorrow though it's not gonna be 60 MPH. We're still gonna be dealing with strong winds and here's how much rain we could potentially see again. Close to three inches of rainfall is left for many areas, especially over towards Suffolk County. Once we're done with the rain colder for the week.

Explore and take a nature walk at the Muttontown Preserve  

LIMuttontown921

All right. It features more than 500 acres of fields, woodlands, ponds and state ground. A lot of gorgeous views. And for this week's road trip, close to home, New 12 Long Island's Angela Cascara takes us to nasa's largest nature preserve on this week's road trip. Close to home, we take you to the Muttontown Preserve. NASA County's largest preserve with tons of trails, ponds and unique ecology. The Muttontown Preserve is Nassau County's largest preserve. It is over 550 acres but offers hiking trails for daily visits as the seasons change. You can be sure to catch some great fall foliage here. If anyone comes here on any given day, they can follow all chair markers and navigate the preserve with ease. In addition to the wooded trails, there's tons of open air trails that have flowers native to Long Island like these golden rods. So it provides general access to nature and flora and fauna that a lot of people don't associate with Nassau County. This building is called NASA Hall. It was built in 19 04. The exteriors model death through Mount Vernon, which was George Washington's home. NASA County decided to come in and buy it so they can maintain it and use it as a county resource. The Boy Scouts of America use this site inside the preserve for overnight camping trips and to help their scouts earn wilderness badges. In the early fifties, King Zog of Albania purchased a large part of the preserve hoping to make this his empire. He ended up never actually relocating here and then eventually had to sell his property and it fell into disrepair. King Zog ruins can be found inside the Muttontown Preserve along the nature trails. The preserve is open from sunrise to sunset, seven days a week throughout all the seasons. I'm Angela Cascarino News. 12 Long Island.
