If you thought Saint Patrick's Day Tuesday was cold, just wait until Wednesday morning! Thankfully, the wind is much lighter now, but still a little breezy at times, with gusts up to around 20 mph. There will be varying amounts of clouds overnight. Low temperatures will drop into the low to mid-20s. Even though the wind will be lighter, a light breeze out of the northwest in the morning will be enough to drop wind chills into the teens to start the day. Dress in layers in the morning.

Keep the heavier coat with you for the afternoon. Afternoon high temperatures will be in the 30s. It will stay dry with varying amounts of clouds through the day.

Here are some of the peak wind gusts and rain totals from Monday into early Tuesday. These intense wind gusts temporarily caused power outages for thousands of Long Islanders at the time, with scattered wind damage across Nassau and Suffolk Counties.

Heavy rain briefly caused a flood advisory in southeastern Nassau County and western and central Suffolk County Monday evening. Here are some of the rain totals from the scattered rain and thunderstorms, which led to minor, scattered flooding.
