IMPROVING WEATHER OVERNIGHT
After off and on wet and stormy weather on Friday across Long Island, it is finally drying out overnight. It is a good idea to still use some caution traveling with scattered areas of standing water around plus wet roads in general and slick conditions from wet leaves on the ground. Clouds are also breaking for partial clear sky into Saturday morning with temperatures in the lower to mid-50s into the early morning.
FRIDAY'S RAIN TOTALS
There was a wide range of rain totals on Long Island Friday. As expected, eastern Suffolk County had the highest rain totals with an average of around 2 to 4 inches of rain. Most reports of flooding were on the minor side, but still some nuisance puddles and wet travel conditions are still around overnight even though it is drying out into the morning. There were lesser rain amounts for western areas of Long Island. Scattered thunderstorms Friday morning led to some dangerous conditions from lightning strikes, too. This includes a home that was struck in Bay Shore. Thankfully, there were no reported injuries.
