NYC Issues Travel Advisory As Heavy Rain, Thunderstorms Threaten Flash Flooding Through Evening

Officials urge New Yorkers to allow extra time to travel and to never drive, bike, or walk through floodwater, which can be deeper than it appears and hide hazards. People in basement or below-grade apartments should stay alert and be ready to move to higher ground before flooding begins. Call 911 if you are in immediate danger.

The greatest risk for flash flooding is during the evening, including the evening commute, though isolated storms are possible earlier in the afternoon. Conditions are expected to improve later tonight. The city has activated its Flash Flood Emergency Plan.

The National Weather Service has placed the city and much of the surrounding area under a Moderate Risk for excessive rainfall, Level 3 of 4, meaning numerous flash floods are possible. The strongest storms could drop 1 to 2 inches of rain per hour, and totals may vary sharply from one neighborhood to another, so some areas could see significant flooding while others nearby stay much drier.

New York City Emergency Management has issued a travel advisory for Thursday as thunderstorms capable of very heavy rain move through the region this afternoon and evening.
