Long Island is bracing for a period of heavy rain and strong winds, prompting the National Weather Service to issue a weather advisory. A low-pressure system moving in from the Atlantic is expected to bring significant rainfall, potentially reaching up to 2 inches in some areas. Wind gusts could exceed 40 mph, posing a threat of downed tree limbs and power outages. This weather pattern is typical for Long Island during the transition from winter to spring, often resulting in unsettled conditions.
