State of Emergency Declared, Travel Advisory Issued As Nor'easter Brings Rain, Winds and Coastal Flooding to NYC

New York

Published · Updated

Summary

  • New York City is under a state of emergency as a strengthening nor'easter moves up the coast, bringing rain, strong winds and coastal flooding into Sunday, according to Gov. Kathy Hochul and NYC Emergency Management. The city is also under a travel advisory from 2 p.m. Friday through Sunday morning.
  • Forecasters expect 2 to 3 inches of rain citywide, with locally higher totals of 4 to 5 inches possible, and wind gusts of 40 to 50 mph and locally higher, strongest from Friday night through Saturday night, per the National Weather Service.
  • Coastal flooding is expected around the Friday evening and Saturday morning high tides, with moderate flooding possible in the Rockaways, around Jamaica Bay and along the Staten Island and Brooklyn shorelines. Forecasters also warn of dangerous surf and life-threatening rip currents along the coast, and city beaches are closed for the season with swimming not permitted. Saturated ground and trees in full leaf raise the risk of downed limbs and power lines.
  • The MTA has closed storm doors at its Coney Island and Howard Beach yards and staged flood-mitigation crews across the system, per the agency.
  • Officials urge New Yorkers to limit travel, move cars off flood-prone streets before high tide and never walk or drive through floodwater. With power outages possible from the high winds, residents should charge devices and keep flashlights on hand. Basement apartment residents should know more than one way out and be ready to move to a higher floor.
