NYC Braces for Tropical Storm Debby's Arrival
Tropical Storm Debby is expected to bring isolated storms, heavy rain, and flooding to New York City and the Northeast on Thursday and Friday. The storm arrives after a previous thunderstorm this week flooded highways and caused power outages in the region.
While Debby has caused significant damage in the Southern US, New York City is expected to experience less severe impacts due to the storm's straightened path and increased speed. Rainfall is projected to be around one to two inches across the five boroughs through Saturday morning.
Thursday: Scattered Rainfall Through the Evening
Expect scattered rainfall to continue through the evening hours with possible brief downpours, especially late tonight into Friday morning.
Friday: Heavier Rain and Potential Flooding
Debby will likely become a summer-type storm system, bringing heavier precipitation, especially in upstate New York and Vermont. New York City will experience showers and thunderstorms Friday morning, with a possible break in the afternoon. However, a line of thunderstorms is expected in the evening, potentially causing scattered flooding in urban areas and along rivers and streams. Strong winds from thunderstorms could reach 35 to 45 mph along the coast, potentially causing minor tree damage and power outages. High surf and rip currents are expected at beaches into Saturday.
The Weekend: Relief from the Storm
The weekend is forecast to be rain-free, less humid, and pleasant with plenty of sunshine and average to below-average temperatures.
