Forecasts are reinforcing the potential for heavy rain centered around the NYC area from Friday into Saturday morning. A flood watch is in effect through 6 a.m. Shabbos for the entire tri-state, with rainfall rates of 1-2 inches per hour expected at times. Throughout the region, at very least 2-4 inches can be expected, while some areas can expect to see between 5-8 inches before the storms move on. Periods of heavy rain and even thunder are possible as the morning commute continues, but it will be even more widespread throughout the afternoon and evening. Flooding is possible for much of a tri-state area as a result of the heavy rain, which is coming as the ground is already water-logged due to the remnants of Ophelia that drenched the region. The rainfall intensity increases Friday mornimg around 8 and 9 a.m. and continues through the afternoon and evening with drenching downpours creating messy conditions for the evening commute. Just so readers understand, a whopping 4 inches of rain had already fallen at JFK Airport by 8:00am.

As for rainfall amounts, much of the New York City area (including the five boroughs) will likely see 2-4 inches by the time the storm moves on. Places that could see more than that include parts of Ocean and Monmouth counties along the Jersey Shore, as well as isolated spots in the Hudson Valley, where anywhere from 4-8 inches of rain could fall. Other spots may see lower amounts, only about an inch or two, like on eastern parts of Long Island and some parts of New Jersey.
