THIS EVENING AND OVERNIGHT
Overall, it is a nice evening, with temperatures mostly in the 60s under a mainly cloudy sky. Overnight, it will stay mostly cloudy, with a couple of passing light rain showers into Tuesday morning. It will be cool and breezy, with lows in the upper 50s into Tuesday morning.
LATE-WEEK NOR'EASTER?
The storm potential for Friday into the weekend depends on the exact storm track and as of Monday evening's forecast, that track is far from certain. Check back with the News 12 Storm Watch Team throughout the week for important updates. If this coastal storm tracks closer to Long Island, there can be significant rain and wind, with potential wind damage into the weekend. If the storm stays further offshore, which is still a very good possibility, Long Island will get some wind, but little to no rain.
In either scenario, there will be coastal impacts of tidal flooding as a full moon approaches this weekend, beach erosion and dangerous surf. The level of severity of these coastal impacts would be worsened with a closer storm track or eased a bit with a further away storm track.
The News 12 Storm Watch Team will have higher confidence in the ultimate track and local impacts of this nearby nor'easter by midweek.
