Tornado Warning Issued in N.J. as Rain, Stormy Weather Move Through the Tri-State
Heavy rain could bring 1 to 3 inches an hour and up to 5 inches total, forecasters said.
- The National Weather Service issued a flash flood watch for New York City and the Tri-State Area effective from 8 a.m. Tuesday through 8 p.m. Wednesday as rain and potentially strong storms move through the region.
- AccuWeather Inc. senior meteorologist Matt Benz expects 'repeated rounds' of thunderstorms Tuesday afternoon, with the highest probability for severe storms near 60 mph wind gusts in South Jersey and Delaware, though they could reach Philadelphia.
- Rain could fall at one to three inches per hour, with downpours potentially totaling two to five inches or more across the region, overwhelming drainage systems in urban areas.
- Safety officials warn that most vehicles can be swept away by just 12 inches of rushing water, urging residents in flood-prone areas to seek higher ground immediately if trapped by moving water.
- The New York Department of Environmental Conservation notes that 'increased precipitation through more frequent and intense rain events' is impacting New York, while Scientific American reports rising global temperatures make heavy downpours more likely.
