Heavy rain and thunderstorms are expected to continue across the New York City region Monday, raising the risk of localized flash flooding , the National Weather Service said.
The NWS said the heaviest rain could produce rainfall rates of more than an inch per hour, with flooding possible in low-lying areas, places with poor drainage and along small streams. Some storms could also produce damaging wind gusts, the weather service said.
Most of the region is expected to receive between a half-inch and 2 inches of rain, though isolated areas could see significantly higher totals, the NWS said. The Weather Prediction Center placed the region under a slight risk for excessive rainfall, meaning scattered flash flooding is possible.
Flood Watches were also put into effect through Monday evening for much of northeastern and central New Jersey, where the National Weather Service said excessive rainfall could cause flooding.
The wet forecast came on the heels of last week's storms , which brought significant flooding to parts of Staten Island, northern New Jersey and the lower Hudson Valley while much of New York City avoided the worst conditions.
Forecasters urged residents to monitor the latest weather updates and to never drive through flooded roadways.
