Minor flooding may come at high tide

The National Weather Service says coastal Long Island may see minor flooding Wednesday.

High astronomical tides coupled with wind shifts may push high tide about a foot and a half to 2 feet above normal.

Low-lying areas will be especially prone to flooding. The flood threat is from 9 a.m. until 3 p.m., the National Weather Service said.

Meanwhile, forecasters are calling for cloudy skies Wednesday with emerging sun as the day goes on. A high temperature of about 50 degrees is expected - but with wind gusts as high as 28 mph.

Skies clear late in the day, with a low in the upper 30s Wednesday night and sunny skies with a high in the low 50s expected for Veterans Day.

A moderate wind of 13-15 mph is expected.

Expect sunny skies through the weekend, as well, forecasters said, with mild temperatures in the mid- to upper 50s.
