Never drive through flooded streets or underpasses — even shallow water can stall a vehicle. If you live in a basement or ground-floor apartment, know your exits and have a plan to move to a higher floor if conditions worsen.

If power outages occur, adjust refrigerator and freezer settings to colder temperatures to preserve perishables, and never use generators indoors. Anyone relying on life-sustaining equipment who loses power should call 911 immediately.

Delta, American, United, and JetBlue have all issued rebooking waivers for travel between July 27 and July 29 to or from New York and New Jersey airports. Contact your airline directly to rebook without additional fees.

Nearly 800 flights were cancelled across New York City airports Tuesday morning after the FAA issued ground stops at LaGuardia, JFK, and Newark. As of 10 a.m., LaGuardia reported 339 cancellations and 110 delays, JFK reported 304 cancellations and 80 delays, and Newark reported 155 cancellations and 59 delays.

MTA is preparing for possible subway flooding, deploying crews to flood-prone stations, clearing drains, and staging mobile pumps and emergency generators. Riders should check for service alerts before traveling, especially on lines with a history of flooding. Visit the [MTA website](https://www.mta.info/) for the latest information.

The Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) and Department of Transportation (DOT) have conducted targeted inspections and cleared catch basins in flood-prone areas ahead of the storm.

NYC Emergency Management (NYCEM) has activated the Flash Flood Emergency Plan, coordinating with the National Weather Service and city agencies.

The National Weather Service forecasts 2 to 5 inches of rain citywide, with the heaviest rain expected Tuesday afternoon and evening.

A Flood Watch is in effect for New York City from 8 a.m. Tuesday to 8 a.m. Wednesday. The region, including New Jersey and Pennsylvania, is under a marginal risk of severe thunderstorms Tuesday into Wednesday morning, with potential for gusty winds, frequent lightning, and brief heavy downpours. Wind gusts of roughly 25 to 30 mph are forecast outside of thunderstorms.
