With the repeated rain chances over the next few days, and between 1-3" inches of rain expected during this, flooding remains a probability. Low chances for isolated flooding continue overnight, Monday and Tuesday. Anticipate pooling water in places that tend to be more vulnerable to water build up, i.e. places that tend to puddle.
Our rain overnight comes in repeated waves. A dry period here or there but anticipate soggy conditions throughout the overnight and into early parts of Monday morning. Unfortunately, we have a chance of showers during both sides of our commute on Monday. More rain expected overnight Monday into Tuesday am. Parts of Tuesday trending drier at times, but still multiple rain chances and the opportunity for thunderstorms.
Is this a rainy pattern? Absolutely. Do we need some rain? Yes. Could this be beneficial for Nassau, westernmost Suffolk, and the east end that is still seeing abnormally dry conditions.
Temperatures will be in the 60s for the beginning of this week. Then we rebound into the high 60s and low 70s for Wednesday and Thursday. Friday, we drop back down to the lower 60s. For this time of May, we expect the middle 60s for high temperatures so we are flirting with that on and off for the next week.
OVERNIGHT: Fog and drenching showers. Temperatures stay in the middle 50s.
MONDAY: Rounds of rain. At times drier, but then another wave of rain will move through. Showers intensify into the evening and night. Pockets of moderate to heavy rain likely. A chance of thunderstorms.
TUESDAY: More rain. Drier periods in between but still a few rounds with downpours and thunderstorms possible.
REST OF THE WEEK: Rain chances linger but trending drier for the second half of the work and school week.
