NYC Under a Red Alert: Debby's Remnants Threaten the Tri-State Area
The remnants of Tropical Storm Debby, which made landfall in South Carolina, are making their way up the East Coast and are expected to impact New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut. The First Alert Weather team has issued a Red Alert for most of Friday, with the heaviest rainfall expected to stay north and west of the city.
However, NYC is still expected to see 1 to 3 inches of rain, on average, with a risk of flash flooding and strong winds.
Winds are expected to peak Friday evening at 35 to 45+ miles per hour, potentially causing downed tree branches and even weak-rooted trees to fall, especially along the coast. Coastal flooding is not anticipated to be significant, but dangerous rip currents are expected on south-facing New York beaches and the Jersey Shore.
Officials are urging residents to prepare for the storm, as flooding and downed trees are anticipated.
The weekend is predicted to be beautiful, so stay tuned for the latest forecast and weather alerts from the First Alert Weather team.
Stay safe and dry!
