Nor’easter to Bring Flooding, Winds to NYC This Weekend
A nor’easter is set to impact New York City and surrounding areas starting Friday, September 25, and lasting through Sunday. According to the National Weather Service, the storm will bring heavy rainfall, gusty winds, and coastal flooding, with total rainfall expected to reach 1 to 1.5 inches. Winds could gust up to 40 mph, particularly late Friday into Saturday morning. Coastal neighborhoods, including Staten Island’s eastern shore, the Rockaways, and areas around Jamaica Bay, are at risk of flooding during high tides on Friday evening and Saturday morning. Conditions are expected to improve by Saturday night as the storm moves offshore. Additionally, there is a high risk of rip currents and rough surf at city beaches, which could lead to beach erosion.
