NYC Hit by More Storms After Devastating Floods: Brace for More Rain and Wind

Tri-State Under Another Round of Storms After Devastating Floods

New York City and the surrounding tri-state area are bracing for another round of storms, just one day after heavy rainfall triggered widespread flash flooding. While the storms are not expected to be as severe as Sunday's downpours, which brought up to 10 inches of rain to some areas, they still pose a significant threat due to saturated ground and high river levels.

Stay Safe During the Storms:

• Exercise caution when driving: Roadways are still recovering from Sunday's damage, so allow extra travel time. Never drive through standing water, as it can stall your car and leave you stranded.
• Secure loose objects: Damaging wind gusts up to 60 mph are possible, which can knock down trees, snap limbs, and bring down power lines. Secure any outdoor furniture or loose items that could be blown away.
• Download the NBC4 New York app: Stay ahead of the storm by downloading the app and turning on weather alerts.

What to Expect After the Storms:

Once the storms pass, temperatures and humidity will drop significantly, bringing a taste of fall to the region. Expect a beautiful remainder of the week with pleasant weather.
