NYC Weather: Major Storm Lingers As Thousands Without Power

NEW YORK CITY — A major weekend storm is going to linger in New York City, bringing more heavy rain, wind and potential flooding, forecasters said.

New York City is under multiple weather advisories Monday as thousands of city dwellers are without power, according to the National Weather Service and ConEd.

A 100 percent chance of rain faces the city for the day, as forecasters warn some of it could by heavy. The city — as part of a hazardous weather outlook — is under a flood watch and coastal flood advisory because of up to 4 inches of rain from the overall storm, National Weather Service alerts state.

Wind gusts up to 36 mph could hit the city, according to the forecast.

"Rain and possibly a thunderstorm before 1pm, then a chance of rain between 1pm and 4pm," the forecast states. "Some of the storms could produce heavy rainfall."

Travel Advisory remains in effect for the City of New York. We have a couple of thousand customers reporting power outages, flooding conditions on roads, and high winds on bridges.

Please continue to take precautions.
