THIS EVENING: SHOWERS END
Periods of light showers and drizzle are tapering off across Nassau and Suffolk Counties this evening. Roads are still wet and slick from all of the wet leaves around. So, just use a little extra caution traveling around Long Island tonight even after the last raindrops end. It continues to be breezy and cold, too. It will feel like the 30s this evening with wind gusts mostly in the 10 to 20 mph range, but it does continue to dry out. As it dries out, it will stay mostly cloudy. That said, it will be a nicer, but chilly weekend and we will see breaks of sun return Saturday, with even more sunshine on Sunday.
STORM RAIN TOTALS RECAP
This recent nor'easter was one of those storms with a little bit of everything for Long Island! It was a true sign of the changing of seasons we are going through, from temperatures around 60 degrees with severe weather nearby to the colder weather moving in as it dries out tonight. It also provided around 1 to 2 inches of rain for much of Long Island. Wind gusts peaked at around 20 to 40 mph with a few isolated higher gusts, mostly across the East End. Here are some of the storm's total rain amounts below.
STAYING COLDER THIS WEEKEND
Dress warmly this evening and through the weekend. It will look nicer outside, but it will feel cold at times. The nights and mornings will be particularly cold.

It will be chilly all weekend long, with high temperatures around the upper 40s to near 50 degrees, with another cold morning on Sunday. Frost will be possible during the nights and early mornings, too.
