Heavy rain, gusty winds early Sunday morning
The remnants of Tropical Storm Bill, currently tracking through the Mississippi and Ohio Valley, will make a move toward our area later tonight into early Sunday morning. The presence of a very moist atmosphere and lots of lift for precipitation will aid in the threat for a period of heavy rain, late Saturday Night into early on Sunday throughout much of New Jersey, NYC, Connecticut and Long Island. Embedded thunderstorms are also possible.
A localized threat for flooding may emerge, as rainfall will become particularly intense along an area of enhanced lift for precipitation. This area of lift will move from southwest to northeast through the area early on Sunday morning. As it does so, very heavy rain with rumbles of thunder are likely — and urban/poor drainage areas will be especially prone to flooding.
