Good morning, NYC!

☔ Periods of moderate to heavy rainfall are expected, especially during the morning commute and into the early afternoon.

The heaviest rain is expected to favor areas east of NYC, but New Yorkers should still prepare for wet roads, ponding in low-lying areas, and reduced visibility. Allow extra travel time and use caution on the roads.

Rain gradually tapers off this afternoon and evening, setting us up for an improving weekend.

Saturday is expected to be mild with some afternoon clouds and a chance of scattered showers. Sunday looks brighter and drier, with breezy conditions and temperatures around 60°F. 🍂

New Yorkers: the storm is still underway, and quiet stretches can give way to strong gusts at any moment.

Winds are bringing down trees, loosening facades and scaffolding, and knocking down power lines across the city. If you're outside, use caution in parks and anywhere with trees, keep clear of scaffolding, cranes, and construction sites, and stay far away from anything it touches including cars, fences, and puddles. Never try to move a tree or branch that's tangled in wires. Watch for loose signs, awnings, and debris blowing off buildings. Call 911 if there’s a life safety issue for trees and power lines.

Hazards will remain after the storm ends, so continue to exercise caution when getting around.

[NYCEM - Notify NYC @NotifyNYC]
