NEW YORK – New York City and the eastern United States on Sunday braced for severe thunderstorms as a creeping weather front drags across the region and raises the risk of flooding from Vermont to North Carolina.
The slow-moving line of showers is expected to cross the region starting on Sunday afternoon, with as much as 10cm of rain possible in some locations, the National Weather Service said. Flood watches are in effect for areas of New York, New Jersey, Connecticut, New Hampshire and Vermont.Rain may fall at rates of 5cm per hour through early Monday in New York, Bryan Ramsey, a National Weather Service meteorologist in Upton, New York, said on Sunday.
“We are going to be looking at some very heavy rainfall, this will include the I-95 corridor,” said Andrew Orrison, a forecaster with the US Weather Prediction Centre. “In general, the region up here has been wet, so we are looking at significant impacts.” While about 80 million people are in the storm’s path, the highest rain totals are expected across portions of the North-east and New England, forecasts predict, with some seeing a month’s worth of moisture in just a few hours. Because the front is moving slowly, the bands of rain and flooding threat could linger until Monday morning.
As of Sunday afternoon, more than 300 flights have been cancelled at New York’s LaGuardia and John F. Kennedy airports, and more than 150 at Newark, according to FlightAware, an airline tracking company.“Throughout the weekend, parts of the state will continue to be at risk for flooding from storms bringing heavy rain, especially in those areas already hard-hit by rains and flooding over the past couple of days,” New York Governor Kathy Hochul said in a statement.
