It wouldn't be a weekend in May without a bit of rain.

The final days of the month continued what has been a rather wet spring -- albeit filled with a smattering of truly beautiful and picture-perfect sunny days. But that is not how we're closing out May.

Heavy overnight rain left between 1 and 3 inches in some spots of the tri-state and caused minor flooding, especially in areas north and west of New York City. Morning drivers were expected to see some soggy streets and ponding following a few good hours of rainfall.

The skies dry out slightly through the first half of the day.

Most of us around the tri-state can expect to see a rain showers popping in-and-out through the morning and afternoon, depending on where you are. The next serious round of weather holds off until around dinnertime.

This round of potentially severe conditions also a strong wind threat. Once those storms move out, however, things calm down significantly overnight.
