Widespread heavy downpours are expected throughout the day, which could make for messy driving and bring localized flooding to parts of Long Island.

It's muggy outside and winds are picking up when big bands of rain roll through.

Showers and thunderstorms gradually diminish during the evening, with skies beginning to partially clear overnight as the cold front moves offshore.

News 12 is driving around the island all morning, checking out any potential flooding spots, and keeping you informed on the latest conditions.
