THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
Our weather finally improves in Nassau and Suffolk counties following the powerful nor'easter that brought wind damage, coastal flooding, significant erosion and several inches of rain to parts of Long Island. It will stay mostly cloudy this evening, but any lingering drizzle is ending. Temperatures will be in the upper 50s to lower 60s this evening with a light breeze out of the northwest around 5 to 15 mph.
Overnight, clouds will clear a bit and it will become partly cloudy at times into early Tuesday morning, with low temperatures in the upper 50s and a north-northwest breeze around 5 to 15 mph.
COASTAL NOR'EASTER IMPACTS IMPROVING
Some brief minor coastal flooding in southern Nassau and southwestern Suffolk counties cannot be ruled out during the next few high tide cycles, but it will be much better than earlier high tides. A coastal flood statement is issued by the National Weather Service for this, which is the lowest level of coastal flooding alert.
NOR'EASTER RECAP: PEAK GUSTS AND RAIN TOTALS
Beyond the coastal impacts of this past weekend's Nor'easter, the wind knocked down more than 1,200 trees across Long Island and 4 to nearly 7 inches of rain fell across much of the island, too. Thankfully, the storm is behind us, and nicer weather is on the way, but storm cleanup continues for many Long Islanders through the week.
