Rainy weather this week for NYC area. Maps show how much to expect.
The dreary weather continued Monday and is expected to last into Tuesday around the New York City area, with a lot of rain and cooler temperatures.
Wet start to week ahead
As a lingering area of low-pressure parks itself over the Ohio Valley, rounds of showers and thunderstorms are likely to persist through at least Wednesday.
A First Alert Weather Day was issued for Monday and lasted into the evening. The rain earlier in the day was heavy at times, totaling up to 3 inches in some areas and fueling fears of localized flooding.
Additional periods of heavy rain are likely to persist from Monday night into Tuesday, before turning spottier by midweek. Up to 4 inches of rain is probable between Monday and Tuesday, with some locations possibly receiving higher amounts, which have the potential to finally wipe out the existing drought across the Tri-State Area.
Temperature wise, a return to more seasonable readings is anticipated for most of the week, with highs in the 60s and 70s.
