New York isn’t expected to sustain Dorian’s wrath, but three things are certain, according to John Murray, a meteorologist at the National Weather Service on Long Island: big waves, gusty wind and a bit of rain.

The weather

Dorian, which was one of the strongest Atlantic hurricanes on record and a Category 2 storm as of this morning, pummeled the Bahamas, killing at least seven people there.

By Friday, rain and wind from the remnants of the storm could reach the New York area. Expect mostly cloudy skies.

Mostly on eastern Long Island, Mr. Murray said, wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour, potentially dangerous waves and currents, and three-quarters of an inch of rain would be possible through Saturday afternoon.
