Heavy Rain Targeting Patchogue, Flooding Possible

Grab your umbrella before heading out the door Monday morning.

Patchogue and the rest of Long Island is under a hazardous weather outlook as a whole lot of rain takes aim at the region, according to the National Weather Service.

There is a slight chance of rain and thunderstorms Sunday evening, but the real downpours will begin overnight. The heaviest rainfall is expected to begin just prior to the start of the morning commute, the hazardous weather outlook says.

That heavy rain will continue into the early afternoon and may “cause some widespread minor flooding of urban or poor drainage areas as well as possible isolated flash flooding,” the NWS says.

The chance for showers and thunderstorms will continue through Tuesday night.
