FORECAST: The storms that keep on giving continue across Long Island overnight. Rain will be with us tonight through the morning commute as the showers fade away. The big threats for this round are once again, coastal flooding and damaging wind gusts.
Make sure to prepare in communities right on the water for the flood threats and secure loose articles that are outdoors. The wind threat is greatest overnight with the flood potential rising throughout the day on Saturday, especially at high tide. We won't be able to see much of a break for the rest of the weekend as there is a chance for some rain or snow showers for the East End and South Shore Sunday afternoon.
This will drive temperatures down and give us the potential for some snow Tuesday into early Wednesday as confidence increases for freezing temperatures and more snow in the cards as we head toward the long-term.
