Full Notification

New York City Emergency Management has issued a travel advisory for Monday, 6/22. New Yorkers are advised to prepare for potential rain and thunderstorms Monday into early Tuesday morning.
 
The National Weather Service has forecasted the total rainfall is expected to reach 0.75 to 2 inches widespread, with localized amounts up to 4 inches. Rainfall rates of 0.5 to 1 inch per hour are likely, with rates of 1.5 to 2 inches per hour possible during the strongest thunderstorms. Winds of 10 to 15 mph will bring gusts up to 30 mph, with isolated gusts of 40 to 50 mph possible during thunderstorms. 

Periods of heavy rain may cause flooding in the city, including highways, streets, basements, and underpasses. During periods of heavy rain, seek higher ground or, if in a basement, move to a higher floor. City agencies have taken action to clean catch basins and remove street litter in the event heavier rain occurs.

Heavy rain may create dangerous travel conditions:

New Yorkers are advised to limit travel and stay inside during periods of severe weather.
If you must travel, exercise caution. Do not drive your vehicle or walk into areas where water covers the roadway as the water depth may be too great to allow you to cross safely.
If you are outside during a thunderstorm, avoid open areas and try to seek shelter indoors.
