Severe Weather Expected in NYC Tuesday with Flash Flooding Risk
New York City is bracing for another round of severe weather on Tuesday, July 21, 2026, following last week’s heat wave, smoky skies, and storms. According to meteorologist Bill Goodman of the National Weather Service, two storm systems are expected to impact the area between noon and 10 p.m. These storms could bring heavy rainfall, wind gusts up to 40 mph (64 km/h), and a slight chance of hail or a tornado. Rainfall totals may reach several inches, potentially leading to flash flooding. While the storms may disrupt the day, they are expected to bring some relief from the recent heat.
