STORM WATCH: HEAVY RAIN, FLOODING INTO EARLY FRIDAY
Scattered areas of rain showers are becoming heavier as we speak, leading to torrential downpours, flooding and the chance for thunderstorms through the first half of tonight. Travel is dangerous at times due to low visibility from downpours and areas of flooding. Always turn around if you notice an area covered by water since it is difficult to tell how deep it is, especially after dark.
The worst of the rain will begin to wind down after 8 p.m. from west to east. That said, scattered rain and a few downpours will remain possible overnight and into early Friday morning, mainly across eastern Suffolk County.
