Our nor’easter is slowly pulling away from Long Island today, and conditions are gradually improving.
We’re also continuing to monitor coastal flooding around Long Island. While the coastal flood advisory has expired, there can still be some brief and minor coastal flooding in southern Nassau County and southwestern Suffolk County during tonight's high tide cycle generally between around 9 p.m. and just after 1 a.m. Give yourself some extra time if you’re traveling through flood-prone communities and never drive through a flooded roadway.
The drizzle and showers are ending early this evening. It will stay mostly cloudy until some partial clearing arrives overnight. Winds won’t be too bad, generally around 10 to 20 mph, as the nor’easter continues to move farther away from Long Island.
Tonight brings much quieter weather with some gradual partial clearing and lows in the 50s. Then we finally get some sunshine back Tuesday! Look for partly sunny skies with temperatures warming into the upper 60s to lower 70s.
And the rest of the week is looking great. Wednesday brings sun and clouds with highs of 70 to 75 degrees. Thursday stays sunny with temperatures near 75, and Friday also looks dry and sunny with highs in the 70s. After the rain, wind and coastal flooding, we have a much quieter and brighter stretch of weather ahead.
