STORM WATCH: Developing nor'easter to bring wet and windy weather later this week

Good to see you there. We've got some rain kind of knocking on the door. I know I don't want to talk about it, but it's coming. Yeah, so there is going to be a developing nor'easter, which will actually be at its strongest when it's east of Long Island, so we don't get the brunt of this. We still get some nasty weather, though, and an increase in the wind and rainy conditions Thursday into Friday. So we still have another buffer day tomorrow for Veterans Day, which is good for any parades and ceremonies happening. But here's what we need to know in terms of that more impactful weather, at least Thursday into Friday. And again, this is not a major high impact event for Long Island, but it's. It's not great weather for us as we go into Thursday morning. Can't rule out a little spotty shower by mid-morning. It's breezier for sure at that point. Most wind gusts around 15 to 25 miles per hour in the morning. As we go into the afternoon on Thursday, that's when it starts to get wetter, where we'll have these periods of rain that's a little bit more moderate at times. Can't rule out a little brief downpour into the evening, but most of the rain is going to be steady, moderate rain. Thursday evening and through the overnight hours into Friday. Now the rain intensity will even back off to just some lighter off and on rain, especially as we go into Friday morning and all the while it's gusty. Those winds around 20 to 30 miles per hour. So not necessarily damaging winds. Could there be an isolated outage? Sure. With the wet conditions and the gustier weather. But this is not a really intense wind for Long Island, but it's noticeably windy for sure. As we go towards Friday evening, the last of the showers will start to wind down. Can't rule out a little isolated shower into early on Saturday morning. But for the most part, the steadiest wet weather with this is going to be Thursday evening into early on Friday, then just some off and on rain. So here is the bottom line with this storm. Thursday into Friday, we're looking at around a half inch to an inch and a half of rain. I think most spots here on Long Island will be around an inch or even slightly less with this. Wind gusts, most of them 15 to 35 miles per hour. And you might be hearing about snow. across the northeast with this, not locally here on Long Island, well to our north and west, but this storm will start to bring in our coldest air of the season into the weekend. So tonight's dry, mostly clear, chilly in the lower to middle forties. Great Veterans Day weather tomorrow, sun and clouds near 60 degrees Thursday into Friday, tracking that storm, a lingering shower early Saturday morning, but it's chilly this weekend into early next week with a mix of sun and clouds.
