Summary
A flood watch will cover New York City from 8 a.m. Tuesday to 2 a.m. Wednesday as thunderstorms and heavy rain return, with rainfall totals reaching up to three-quarters of an inch.
Tuesday’s worst weather is expected before 2 p.m., with cloudy skies, a high near 81 degrees and southeast wind gusts up to 25 mph before rain tapers after 5 p.m.
Wednesday could bring another round, with early-morning showers, stronger storm chances from late morning into afternoon, and more rain and a possible thunderstorm during the evening commute.
The renewed threat follows weekend storms that knocked out power to hundreds of homes and businesses in Queens and triggered more than 400 flight cancellations at city airports.
Conditions are expected to improve by the weekend, with highs in the mid-80s and no rain currently in the forecast.
