Strong coastal storm to impact NYC starting tonight

A strong low pressure system will develop off the Mid-Atlantic coast from tonight into Tuesday morning. Periods of heavy rain and flooding are likely in the NYC Metro, with rainfall totals of 2-4″ expected. Travel delays and difficulties are likely. While a notable storm will occur, we do not expect the impacts from this system to be similar to those experienced from Tropical Storm Ida in September.

Although we will be dry for the rest of the daytime hours today, conditions will deteriorate as the night progresses, with much of the area likely seeing multiple periods of heavy rain and flash flooding. While there are still a few tricky intricacies to the forecast, confidence is increasing that the majority of the area will see over 2″ of rain — with localized rainfall totals over 5″ — from tonight through Tuesday evening. This article will detail what we can expect in terms of timing and impacts during each phase of this storm.
