NYC Braces for Rainy Sunday: Flood Watch Issued

New York City is facing a Yellow Alert this Sunday, with a flood watch in effect. Rain, storms, and rough oceans are expected throughout the day, particularly in the evening.

The morning will see scattered downpours and thunderstorms, followed by a brief lull in the heaviest showers midday. Expect mostly cloudy skies and very humid air, even when it's not raining. Highs will be in the upper 70s and low 80s this afternoon.

Flooding Concerns

Scattered showers and thunderstorms will pick up again by mid-afternoon and continue into the night. The primary threat will be heavy rain leading to localized flooding, especially in urban and poorly drained areas. Rainfall rates could easily reach 1-2 inches per hour, with the most severe weather risk to the southwest of the city.

Beach Conditions

Beachgoers should be aware of the high rip current risk at all NYC beaches through Monday. Expect rough surf and limited dry periods.

Looking Ahead

Scattered showers and storms will taper off overnight, with Monday likely starting off dry. Another round of spotty showers and storms is expected Monday afternoon with a cold front, pushing temperatures back into the 80s.

Tuesday will start cloudy, but clear skies and falling humidity are predicted throughout the day. Enjoy a beautiful stretch of weather with temps in the 70s, plenty of sunshine, and refreshing air – a true taste of September!

Temperatures will climb back into the 80s later this week into next weekend.
