Scattered rain ending from west to east; dangerous shoreline conditions continue

Other than a few showers and isolated downpour, it will be dry for the rest of today. Use caution traveling as debris and lingering flooding can still be around into the evening.

WHAT YOU NEED TO KNOW:

  • Scattered rain is clearing out from west to east before 5 p.m.

  • Drier weather on Tuesday.

Heavy rain caused rapid flooding of roads, small streams and low-lying areas earlier today, with anywhere from around 2 to 4 inches of rain across much of Long Island. The highest amounts were generally in western Nassau County.

As the weather improves this evening, please be careful if heading to a South Shore beach. A high surf advisory remains in effect until 9 p.m. and there is still a risk for bad rip currents through at least Tuesday evening now.

The rest of the week looks decent, but a spotty shower or thunderstorm chance will return Wednesday through the weekend along with warm and extremely humid conditions.
