Coastal flooding will be a concern on Long Island through early Sunday, after showers moved through the area, according to the National Weather Service.
Northern Suffolk and Nassau could see brief minor flooding of the more vulnerable waterfront areas Saturday night.
At 10 p.m., an advisory warns about the potential of 1 to 1½ feet of flooding in low-lying areas near the waterfront in southern Suffolk until 5 a.m.
Starting at 8 p.m., the shores of southern Nassau may also see up to 1 to 1½ feet of flooding until 1 a.m. Sunday, according to the weather service.
Sunday will feature dry weather with temperatures reaching the low 40s.
Another low pressure system Sunday night into Monday will bring rain, possibly mixed with snow, but temperatures will be in the low 40s. Tuesday will also likely be gray and wet, with some snow possible at night.
Long Islanders will get a break from the precipitation on Wednesday and Thursday, with sunny skies and highs of 44 degrees Wednesday and 48 on Thursday, forecasters say.
