New York and Northeast Facing Another Day of Wild Weather
New Yorkers can expect rain and high winds through Monday as a powerful nor’easter that caused moderate flooding in Manhattan’s Battery continues to pound the area, knocking out power to thousands and grounding hundreds of flights.
New York and the Northeast are bracing for another day of severe weather as a powerful nor'easter continues to batter the region. Senior forecaster Bob Oravec of the US Weather Prediction Center warns that the worst of the storm is yet to come, with heavy rain and coastal flooding expected to persist through Monday. Over 100,000 homes and businesses across the Northeast have lost power, with Long Island, New York City, and parts of New Jersey particularly hard hit.
Coastal flooding is a result of the storm's strong winds pushing ocean water inland, compounded by high tides and a full moon that further elevates water levels. The storm has already led to the cancellation of 253 flights, primarily from Boston's Logan International Airport, and has caused flight delays at major airports in the region, including New York.
Residents are advised to stay indoors, avoid driving through flooded roads, and prepare for potential power outages and falling trees. While conditions are anticipated to improve gradually after the storm, some areas may still experience lingering rain and gusty winds into Monday, especially in coastal and flood-prone locations.
