The torrential rainfall setup can “quickly escalate into a life-threatening situation in a matter of minutes,” including in New York City and other heavily populated areas, in part due to the recent wet weather and saturated ground.
meteorologists are tracking a storm that is expected to develop over the waters off the Northeast coast and bring flooding downpours and travel headaches to part of the Interstate 95 corridor heading into the weekend.
"This round of rain will at the very least cause travel delays Friday into early Saturday, with the potential for serious flash flooding in areas from New York City up to near Boston," AccuWeather Meteorologist Dean DeVore said. So far this month, Central Park has received an astounding 8.35 inches of rainfall. The Big Apple's historical average rainfall for September is 4.31 inches. In parts of central and northern New Jersey, as little as 0.75 of an inch to 1.50 inches of rain falling in a three-hour period would be capable of causing flash flooding due to recent wet conditions.
Experts advise motorists to avoid areas of street flooding because it is impossible to know how deep the water is or how fast it is moving. In addition to slower ground travel, airports could face increased delays and cancellations. If the heaviest rain sets up over the New York City metro area, mass transit and the subway system could also face delays or temporary closures.
