Parts of eastern Long Island have already picked up close to 4 inches of rain, and another 1 to 2.5 inches could fall before the system moves away. Some communities could ultimately receive more than 5 inches of rain from the event.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Sunday remained damp and unseasonably cool, with a high temperature of 63 degrees, nine degrees below the seasonal average. While winds were noticeably weaker than they had been earlier in the weekend, gusts continued as moisture streamed inland from the Atlantic.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The heaviest rain Sunday evening was concentrated across Monmouth County, New Jersey, and portions of western Suffolk County. Bands of moisture wrapping around the offshore storm continued feeding steady rain into the region and are expected to persist overnight.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Periods of moderate to heavy rain are likely through Monday morning and midday, with additional ponding on roadways and localized flooding possible, especially in low-lying and poor-drainage areas. Areas north of New York City, including parts of the Hudson Valley, could receive another 2 to 2.5 inches of rainfall before the storm departs.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA hsDdd DbOXS oklLN GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"nor'easter flood warning\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR WAUrb hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/19881506_092726-wabc-floodwarning-6PM-img.jpeg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The storm&#8217;s circulation center must move north and east of the area before conditions can improve. As a result, rain may linger through much of Monday, with the last showers potentially not ending until late afternoon or early evening.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Monday will stay cloudy, breezy and cool, with periods of rain and drizzle and temperatures topping out near 62 degrees. Skies should begin to clear Monday night as the storm finally pulls away.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">The weather pattern turns more favorable beginning Tuesday, when a few breaks of sunshine are expected and temperatures rebound to around 70 degrees. More sunshine arrives Wednesday with highs in the mid-70s, followed by a warm and mostly sunny Thursday with temperatures near 80 degrees.<\/p>\n<p>Stay with the Eyewitness News AccuWeather team for continuing updates on the nor&#8217;easter.RELATED | <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/weather\/alerts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Watches, warnings and advisories from the National Weather Service<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Please fill out the form below to submit weather photos and videos.<\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/image-video-solicitation-and-rights-terms-of-use\/5101040\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Terms of use apply.<\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \"><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/weather\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">MORE ACCUWEATHER RESOURCES<\/a><br class=\" \"\/><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/weather\/alerts\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">NWS Advisories, Watches and Warnings<\/a><br class=\" \"\/><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/community\/schoolclosings\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">School closings and delays<\/a><\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA hsDdd DbOXS oklLN GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\"><img decoding=\"async\" alt=\"\" class=\"hsDdd NDJZt sJeUN IJwXl vBqtr KrDt itslR WAUrb hakZw HlUVI \" data-testid=\"prism-image\" draggable=\"false\" src=\"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/us-ny\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/09\/1790557477_823_web7day.jpg\"\/><\/a><\/p>\n<p class=\"EkqkG IGXmU nlgHS yuUao lqtkC TjIXL aGjvy \">Follow <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/about\/newsteam\/lee-goldberg\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">chief meteorologist Lee Goldberg<\/a>, <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/about\/newsteam\/sam-champion\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Sam Champion<\/a>, <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/about\/newsteam\/brittany-bell\/\" target=\"_blank \" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">meteorologist Brittany Bell<\/a>, <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/about\/newsteam\/jeff-smith\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">meteorologist Jeff Smith<\/a>, and <a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/about\/newsteam\/dani-beckstrom\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">meteorologist Dani Beckstrom<\/a> on social media.<\/p>\n<p><a class=\"zZygg UbGlr iFzkS qdXbA WCDhQ DbOXS tqUtK GpWVU iJYzE \" data-testid=\"prism-linkbase\" href=\"https:\/\/abc7ny.com\/post\/lee-goldberg-weather-podcast-forecasting\/14202478\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\">Follow the Weather or Not podcast with Lee Goldberg<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"NEW YORK (WABC) &#8212;
