Accumulated up to two and a half inches of rain and strong winds is the forecast for Friday night and early Saturday in New York City.
The National Weather Service reported this Friday that southeast winds with gusts of 25 to 40 miles per hour are also expected for New York, which in some cases can reach up to 60 miles per hour.
Additionally, coastal flooding is expected in Queens, southeastern and northeastern Long Island, and flooding is expected in these areas.
Rain will intensify during the early morning in New York
Stephanie Viés, meteorologist for the Guardians of Time, reported that the rains will begin to arrive at 9:30 p.m. this Friday.
“Another round of rain is expected arriving in the evening. Between 9 and 11 at night it starts to rain,” she indicated.
“The main hours in which these downpours will affect us will be between 11 at night and 4:00 in the morning,” added Viés.
“In the City we are going to receive (the strongest part of the system) at 1:00 in the morning and by 5:00 it should be dry,” he indicated.
After the passage of this system, temperatures will begin to drop during Sunday and Monday and there is a potential forecast for snowfall for next Tuesday.
