Heavy Rain, Possible Flooding To Hit NYC Just Days After Ida

NEW YORK CITY– Just days after the remnants of Hurricane Ida killed at least 12 in New York City as it deluged subways, streets, apartments and businesses, more heavy rain is set to hit the city.

A hazardous weather outlook was issued Tuesday as the latest storm threatened more flooding Wednesday night into Thursday morning, the National Weather Service said.

Up to three quarters of an inch of rain is expected, with most of it falling before 2 a.m. Thursday. Though that's much less than the 7.49 inches that deluged Midtown Wednesday, it's enough to cause flashbacks for city residents who lived through the wrath of Ida.

That storm prompted the National Weather Service to issue a flash flood emergency in New York City for the first time ever.

Most of those killed in the storm drowned in flood conditions, officials said.

Wednesday's rain will start after 2 p.m., the NWS said.

Here's a look at the NWS forecast in more detail:

Wednesday
A chance of showers, with thunderstorms also possible after 2pm. Mostly sunny, with a high near 81. South wind 7 to 10 mph, with gusts as high as 22 mph. Chance of precipitation is 50%.
