"The coastal storm will intensify throughout the day, with rain spreading inland by evening and wind gusts reaching up to 40mph inland, 50mph in NYC, and 60mph further east tonight. Significant flooding is expected along the coastline due to prolonged onshore winds driving water inland, causing moderate to major flooding over several high tide cycles. The worst of the tides are predicted for Sunday afternoon and early Monday morning."
"Nassau County Executive Bruce Blakeman issued a stark warning to Long Island residents. "If you don't have to go out please stay home. Don't drive through flooded streets. Check on family members and your neighbors, we're all in this together," Blakeman advised, adding that the County's Emergency Operations Center will be activated at 8 a. m. on Sunday to respond to the storm."
