A special weather statement warning of high winds and hail was issued for Centereach, Coram and Shirley until 11:15 p.m. and for Hampton Bays and Riverhead until midnight as the system moved quickly through to the East End.
"Lightning strikes and locally heavy rain will be the main hazards,” said James Connolly, a meteorologist with the weather service but not all areas of Long Island will be hit by the storms, he said.
