New York, NY – Showers and isolated thunderstorms are expected across the region tonight, with rainfall totals ranging from a few hundredths of an inch to as much as 0.75 inches, according to the National Weather Service (NWS) in New York. Heavier amounts are most likely inland, while Long Island may see lighter showers.
According to the NWS, residents should expect a brief lull Wednesday morning before a more significant system moves in by Wednesday afternoon. That storm system is forecast to bring widespread rainfall totals between 1 and 2 inches through Thursday night, with locally higher amounts possible in areas that experience thunderstorms.
Forecast models show areas such as Poughkeepsie, Middletown, and parts of Connecticut receiving nearly half an inch of rain overnight, while New York City and coastal Long Island may see lighter totals closer to 0.20 inches.
Travelers and commuters should prepare for potentially slick roads, reduced visibility, and possible delays during both tonight’s showers and the heavier midweek rainfall. Officials remind drivers to use caution during storms and avoid flooded roadways.
This stretch of unsettled weather comes as seasonal transitions increase the chance of short-lived thunderstorms and soaking rains across the tri-state area.
