Nor'easter weakens after deadly battering of Northeast

Mainly light rain continues to spin around the storm throughout New England.

The worst of the deadly nor'easter that's lashed the Northeast is behind us, and Monday will feature minor impacts as the storm winds down. 

The storm claimed at least one life. The New York Police Department confirmed to ABC News that a 56-year old man died after being struck by a falling tree on Saturday afternoon in Brooklyn while walking through a parking lot.

In a statement on social media, Mayor Zohran Mamdani identified the man as Leighton Brown, an employee of the New York City Housing Authority.

The nor'easter is weakening and drifting on Monday slowly northeast from Long Island, New York, to Massachusetts, into the Gulf of Maine by Tuesday. 

Mainly light rain continues to spin around the storm throughout New England. 

New York City, Long Island and New Jersey should see dry skies in the mid-to-late afternoon on Monday. 

By about 6 a.m. on Tuesday, Boston is also forecast to be dry. A few lingering light showers are forecast for Maine on Tuesday. 

Coastal flood alerts are in place from the Delmarva Peninsula, an area that includes parts of Delaware, Virginia and Maryland, through coastal Massachusetts on Monday.

High tides on Monday morning and Tuesday morning may bring minor to moderate coastal flooding, which is forecast to be less than over the weekend. 

A flood watch is in effect for eastern Massachusetts and Rhode Island where an additional 1.5 inches of rain is possible today. Widespread issues are not expected but due to saturated soils some urban flooding is possible today. 

High surf could reach up to 12 feet today from coastal Massachusetts through coastal Maine. 

All wind advisories have been cancelled. Gusts around 20 to 30 mph are possible on Monday from New Jersey to Maine.
