Rain and thunderstorms are expected to impact New York City on Monday as a strong cold front moves through the region. NYCEM has activated the City’s Flash Flood Emergency Plan. Be Ready for Thunderstorms & Rainfall: nyc.gov/beready The severe weather risk remains low but not zero. There is a slight chance of isolated strong storms capable of producing damaging wind gusts Monday evening. Localized flooding is possible, especially in low lying areas, underpasses, and locations with poor drainage. Ponding on roadways may develop during heavier downpours and where storm drains are clogged. Rain may begin Sunday evening around 7 PM and continue overnight into early Monday morning. Periods of moderate rain are likely through the overnight hours and into the Monday morning commute. Conditions become more active Monday as the cold front approaches. Scattered thunderstorms are possible late Monday morning through the afternoon, with the greatest risk for stronger storms during the evening. The most active period is expected between about 6 PM Monday and 2 AM Tuesday as the cold front moves across the region. During this time, heavier downpours, gusty winds, and organized thunderstorms may develop. Rainfall totals across New York City are expected to range from about 1.0 to 1.1 inches on average, with localized amounts up to around 1.25 inches where thunderstorms develop. Most rainfall rates will remain under 0.25 inches per hour, though heavier showers could briefly produce rates near 1 inch per hour. South to southeast winds will increase through Monday, with sustained winds around 15 to 22 mph and gusts that could reach 45 to 55 mph during the evening as the front moves through. Rain and storms gradually taper early Tuesday morning. A brief rain or snow shower cannot be ruled out Tuesday morning as cooler air moves into the region. New Yorkers should allow extra travel time during periods of heavy rain, especially during the Monday evening commute. Avoid driving through flooded streets. Even shallow water can stall vehicles. Secure loose outdoor items such as patio furniture or trash bins before winds increase. If thunder is heard, move indoors and stay away from open areas. Clear debris from nearby storm drains if it is safe to do so to help reduce street flooding. Stay informed by checking the forecast and signing up for emergency alerts: nyc.gov/notifynyc

Rain and thunderstorms are expected to impact New York City on Monday as a strong cold front moves through the region. Rain may begin as early as Sunday evening around 7 PM and continue overnight into early Monday morning. Periods of moderate rain are likely through the morning commute. Conditions become more active Monday afternoon as the front approaches. Scattered thunderstorms are possible during the day, with the greatest chance for stronger storms Monday evening. The highest risk period appears to be between about 5 PM and 10 PM Monday. During this time, heavier downpours, gusty winds, and thunderstorms are possible as the cold front moves through the area. Rainfall totals are expected to average around 1 to 1.2 inches across the city, with locally higher totals up to around 1.5 inches where thunderstorms develop. Most rainfall rates will stay under a quarter inch per hour, but heavier showers could briefly produce rates close to 1 inch per hour. Localized flooding is possible, especially in low lying areas, underpasses, and locations with poor drainage. Ponding on roadways may develop during heavier downpours. South to southeast winds will increase during the day Monday and may gust up to around 50 mph during the evening as the front passes. Monday temperatures will reach the low 60s before cooler air moves in behind the front late Monday night. Rain and storms gradually taper overnight Monday into early Tuesday morning.

Colder air is moving in. Temperatures will continue to fall through the afternoon. Rain is changing to wet snow. Light accumulation is possible on grassy or elevated surfaces, mainly north and west of the city. Looking ahead, a stronger storm system could bring periods of heavy rain and gusty winds late Sunday night through Monday. Colder air follows early next week.

NYC public schools: Tomorrow (Mon 2/23) is a full snow day — no remote learning, no logging on. Our first real snow day in seven years.
 This blizzard is serious. Stay inside. Travel ban 9pm–noon tomorrow so crews can keep streets clear. 
After the worst passes, bundle up and enjoy the snow — safely.
