NYC Activates Flash Flood Emergency Plan Ahead of Tuesday Storms that Could Unleash Rain, Tornado
Damaging wind gusts are the primary concern, with heavy rain expected at 1 to 2 inches per hour, meteorologist Goodman said.
- On Tuesday, New York City faces a First Alert Weather Day as severe thunderstorms threaten to unleash flash flooding and damaging winds throughout the region.
- Saturated ground leftover from Saturday's violent storms will exacerbate the flood threat, as a moisture-rich airmass allows rainfall rates reaching 1-2 inches per hour.
- An "enhanced" risk of severe weather covers much of New Jersey and parts of New York City, with wind gusts potentially reaching 40 miles per hour and a Flood Watch effective at 8 a.m.
- Mayor Zohran Kwame Mamdani activated the city's Flash Flood Emergency Plan, stating, "Our administration is getting ahead of storms that are heading to our city these next few days, and New Yorkers should take time to prepare too."
- Storm activity should settle after 10 p.m. Tuesday, though meteorologists anticipate another round of storms on Wednesday; the risk of isolated tornadoes remains small, though it is not zero.
