A slow-moving area of low pressure brought torrential downpours to Long Island Saturday night through much of Sunday. Rain showers continued right through much of Monday as well causing some widespread flooding damage. Lido Beach reported the highest storm total of 10.87", which is nearly a foot of rainfall! Wantagh recorded 10.54" of rain while North Massapequa got 10.11" of rain. In Suffolk County, West Islip received the highest rain total of 9.18".

We enjoyed a great day across Long Island with sunny skies and low humidity. A refreshing northwesterly wind added to the comfortable feel of the day. Heading into tonight, we will enjoy one of the coolest nights we have had in quite some time. Low temperatures will be in the 50's across most of Long Island. Friday will be another great day with sunny skies, low humidity, and highs in the low 80's. The weekend will feature increasing humidity, so get out and enjoy the wonderful weather on Friday!

FiOS1 News viewer Christopher Cosentino sent us this video of yesterday's hailstorm that swept through the area. You can see windows being broken by the large hailstones and Christopher said that several employees' car windows were shattered as well.

Extreme heat and humidity have been the norm over the past week or so, but will it continue? The trend so far would lean towards yes. Here is why...If you compare 2011 so far to past years we have already left some of them in the dust. At the recording station in Islip we have seen 9 days so far this year above 90 degrees, and keep in mind we haven't reached August yet. Now if you take that number and compare it to 6 total days above 90 degrees in 2008, and 3 total days in 2009 you can get an idea of how hot it has been.
