Summary
- New York City is under a Flash Flood Emergency Plan activated by NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM) as heavy rain and thunderstorms batter the region.
- Flash flood warnings are in effect for Brooklyn, Queens, and Nassau County, while a broader flood watch covers the rest of NYC through 6 a.m. Tuesday.
- The city is expected to receive 2-3 inches of rainfall through Tuesday morning, with isolated areas seeing up to 4 inches. Rainfall rates could briefly reach 1-2 inches per hour during stronger thunderstorms, which could overwhelm drainage systems — especially in low-lying areas, underpasses, and highways.
- The Monday morning and evening commutes are expected to be significantly impacted. NYCEM Commissioner Christina Farrell said conditions could change rapidly with little warning.
- City crews are clearing catch basins and mobilizing rapid response teams across flood-prone neighborhoods.
- Residents in basement apartments should move to a higher floor before water enters — do not wait to see water before acting.
- Sign up for Notify NYC emergency alerts by texting NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 or calling 311.
