Nor'easter update for NYC: coastal flooding could reach minor to locally moderate levels during high tides Thursday evening through Saturday, largely around Jamaica Bay.
Tonight's high tide could also bring minor flooding there.
🗺️ The storm is still tracking north well offshore, and the heaviest rain is forecast to stay east of NYC over southeastern New England.
For the city, that means gusty winds, weekend rain, and high-tide flooding near the shore.
💨 Gusts will build through the week: 25 to 35 mph today and Thursday, 30 to 45 mph Friday, and 30 to 40 mph Saturday. Secure loose items on balconies, rooftops, and patios, and keep your phone charged.
🌧️ Today and Thursday stay dry. Rain could start as early as late Friday evening, with a 45% to 60% chance of light to briefly moderate rain through the weekend. Totals of 0.5 to 1.25 inches are possible over two to two and a half days.
🚗 Expect some ponding on roads: slow down, allow extra time, and never drive through standing water.
🚫 If you live or travel near the water, do not drive, walk, or swim through floodwaters, including flooded roads, underpasses, and low-lying areas. Turn Around, Don't Drown.
🏖️ Rip current risk is high through Saturday.
