NEW YORK - After an icy morning commute, heavy rains and gusty winds will be moving in throughout this afternoon.
The rain will slide from west to east, with a heavy band of precipitation crossing the New York/New Jersey metro area around 2-3 p.m. before heading out to Long Island and Connecticut.
Fortunately, we are not expecting the rain to linger this evening with clear skies after the rain exits the eastern end of Long Island between 6-7 p.m.

In front of the storm, we will experience a surge of warm air with the chance of some areas reaching record highs this afternoon as temperatures climb into the upper 50’s.
As far as the rain, we can see some localized urban flooding as the heavier rain band moves through dropping anywhere from .5” – 1” of rain. There is a coastal flood advisory in effect from 1 p.m. to 8 p.m. for the southern coast of Long Island where strong, gusty South to Southeast winds can lead to a pile up of water along the coast during the high tide cycle.
Fortunately, we are expecting astronomically low tides so our concern is only for minor flooding with tides up to 3 feet above normal.
