While you should use caution traveling overnight due to any lingering storm debris or standing water, the worst of this nor'easter is well behind us.

This week's powerful nor'easter brought significant coastal flooding for parts of the South Shore, wind gusts over 40 to around 50 mph at times, as well as more than 2 inches of much-needed rain for parts of Long Island. While our local weather continues to improve, there are a few things to keep in mind heading into Tuesday.
The wind will still gust between 20 and 30 mph at times on Tuesday. So, it is still going to be a noticeably windy and cool day. Other than some spotty lingering drizzle mostly in the morning, Tuesday will end up much drier than Monday.
For those living along the south shore of Long Island, there can also still be some minor coastal impacts including some additional minor beach erosion as well as some minor coastal flooding during Tuesday's high tides. That said, it will be a much better day in these areas than it was on Monday.
Coastal flood advisory for SW Suffolk County for Tuesday
Beyond Tuesday, the rest of the week shapes up to be nice overall, but cool with high temperatures in the upper 50s to mid-60s and breezy conditions continuing for a few days.
Have a great night!
