A flood watch is in effect for NYC and NJ, the National Weather Service says. Here's your 10-day NYC forecast update.
The good news is the rain is expected to die down by Saturday evening before making way for a drier SundayWidespread rain is expected across the tri-state area for the first part of Saturday and could dump up to 4 inches of rain in some areas.
The atmosphere is laden with deep tropical moisture, which provides the fuel for downpours. That will make pockets of heavy rain possible, which could lead to isolated flooding. To stay a step ahead of the rain, pay close attention to StormTracker 4 on the NBC New York app. It will tell you where the rain is at any given time, and where it’s headed.
So far this summer, total rainfall in NYC is running four inches below average. This is reflected in a drought monitor that shows a growing area of unusually dry soil. Much of New Jersey also falls into the “unusually dry” category, and a few areas are even experiencing moderate drought.
