NYC activates flash flood preparedness plan as Nicole's remnants near. Here's what to expect in terms of rainfall and more from StormTeam4NY
-- and now the storm, albeit a weakened one, has the New York area in its sights.
An approaching front only complicates matters. The remnants of Nicole will combine with that come Friday, bringing showers to the New York City area by midday before the rain -- and winds -- intensify. Expect at-times torrential downpours into Saturday morning across the tri-state. Wind gusts could top 50 mph in spots, with the worst weather expected to hit overnight Friday into Saturday. Flash flooding is a concern for most of the tri-state, but especially well north and west of New York City. Minor coastal flooding and erosion are also possible, and there could be a few severe thunderstorms early Saturday morning.
The city activated its flash flood emergency plan ahead of the storm's arrival, requiring various agencies to fan out across the five boroughs to inspect catch basins at hundreds of flood-prone locations. This work is already underway -- and all New Yorkers are encouraged to take the same simple debris-clearing step to help prevent flooding. You can also call 311 if you want the city to deal with it for you.
