Welcome back, I am meteorologist
hope is Elkin. We are still on
storm watch tracking the latest
with this powerful nor'easter
that's been hitting our area with
rain, wind and coastal flooding.
Here's what pairs where we
stand right now at this hour.
Some steady rainfall,
even a few pockets of moderate
to heavier rainfall closer to
Port Jefferson and that will
continue to impact parts of the
North Shore of Long Island as we
get into the overnight now.
The gusty winds.
It's still part of the story.
This is going to peak overnight,
reaching their 6065 miles per hour.
Isn't out of the question.
Not everywhere will see that,
but if you're closer to the East,
then you have a higher
likelihood of seeing that.
But right now 4550 miles per hour,
even reaching near 45 miles per
hour over parts of Nassau County.
Take you through the future
cast hour by hour.
Heavy rainfall,
rounds of heavy rain will be
moving into our area overnight
tonight into tomorrow morning.
Coupled with some gusty winds and this
is also happening during high tide.
Terrible timing.
This will bring some moderate
to major coastal flooding inland
to those South Shore communities
that we've been mentioning all
night and even along the North
Shore as well as this storm
inches closer to us tomorrow
afternoon you may think OK,
the storm is done.
No, not yet.
It's actually sitting on top of us,
continuing to wrap around some scattered
showers and breezy conditions.
It will be weaker than it is right now.
But still, you don't want to let your
guard down when it comes to this storm system.
We're still seeing some steady
rainfall tomorrow evening into Monday.
Yes, this will impact your Monday
morning commute getting the kids to school.
It's still going to be rough out there,
not as intense as it is right now,
but some scattered showers,
some breezy conditions.
Still a nasty time to be outside.
We're finally starting to
turn things around by Tuesday.
Yeah, Tuesday we will get through this,
but in the meantime,
we got these high winds.
We have the risk for a moderate
to major coastal flooding.
Avoid travel if you can tonight into
tomorrow getting a look at your
exclusive 10 day forecast again.
The worst of the storm is
tonight into tomorrow morning.
We're still dealing with some scattered
showers and breezy conditions on Monday.
Before we improve on Tuesday.
