STORM WATCH: Colder with scattered rain and gusty wind continuing into Friday

As we go throughout the rest of this Thursday night, just use some caution traveling, still dealing with some pockets of some heavy rain and a rumble of thunder or two across Long Island. We still have this flood advisory for western and central Nassau County. That said, the heaviest of the rain is actually leaving this area as we speak. You see the heaviest rain, those really bright colors that stand out to you is now east of. Great Neck and Roslyn and that trend will continue from west to east, now impacting areas like Huntington over towards Smithtown and Comac more with that really torrential rain that in any given one location will last around an hour, hour and a half or so and then be off towards the east a little bit more. This is really the last widespread area. Torrential rain that we have to deal with as this is moving off towards the east behind it. We're getting another lull that is starting to move in, but there can still be some street flooding around even after the heaviest rain does push out of where you are. So just use some caution traveling. I mean, even just the simple fact that it's dark outside now is really difficult to see and the end of leaves make things a little bit more slick this time of the year traveling as well, of course. So through the rest of this evening, after we get that round of some more moderate to heavy rain moving from west to east into the eight o'clock hour and by nine o'clock out towards the east end, it's just Just off and on moderate rain at that point forward through the overnight. It will start to fill in a little bit more on radar during the overnight into Friday morning it is going to be a wet. Cold feeling and still a bit of a windy start to the day on Friday and a sign of that colder air moving in is that blue that snow you see off to the north and west. A worst case for Long Island, but that would be maybe a few wet snowflakes mixing in with the rain. But for the most part, that's well to our north and west. It is wet conditions through Friday morning. I do think we'll see big improvements developing Friday afternoon into Friday evening, tapering off to just some drizzle, but still some gusty conditions at that point. So around a half inch to an inch and a half of additional rain on top of what's already fallen That's through mid afternoon or so on Friday, 20 to 40 mile per hour wind gusts could be some minor coastal flooding during high tide through tomorrow. Then this is bringing in the coldest feeling air of the season yet. It can feel like the upper 30s Friday, chilly into the weekend, but warmer late next week.
