The possibility of flooding and heavy rains in New York City from Tropical Depression Ophelia will last well past Monday’s morning commute, forecasters say.
Don’t put that raincoat back in the closet just yet.
The remnants of Tropical Depression Ophelia will continue to bring at least another 24 hours of nasty wet weather to New York City, as the possibility of flooding and heavy rains will push well past Monday’s morning commute.
The storm, which made landfall in North Carolina early Saturday morning, has brought strong winds and dumped heavy downpours across the Big Apple and much of the East Coast as the system weakens and slides further into the Atlantic Ocean, prompting forecasters to advise New Yorkers that it’s a “good weekend to stay inside.”
Ophelia continues to weaken, downgrading to a Tropical Depression just before 8 p.m. Saturday, causing all storm surge and tropical storm warnings to be discontinued.
“Some of the rain is still lingering. There will be pockets of dry time and then not dry, but we shouldn’t see any flooding or anything.
