PERIODS OF LINGERING RAIN
USE CAUTION -- Keep an umbrella and rain jacket with you overnight! While the worst of Monday's weather is behind us, scattered rain continues. Most rain showers will be light to moderate, but a few additional downpours will be possible. Any downpours will be more widely scattered. Use caution when traveling, as areas of standing water are still around and are more difficult to see at night.
The southern half of Nassau and Suffolk counties generally received the most rain today, 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts closer to 5 inches. That is around or even a little more than one month's worth of rain! Long Island certainly needed the rain, but too much too quickly can cause scattered flooding issues like it did today.
