Heavy rain, flood risk Friday around NYC area. Here's the First Alert Forecast.
Friday is another First Alert Weather Day as rounds of heavy rain move through the New York City area, which could cause flooding.
It comes after storms pounded the Tri-State Area on Thursday and made for a messy evening commute.
Timing out today's rain
Today got off to a rough start, with rounds of moderate to heavy rain inland. Elsewhere, light to moderate rain gradually filled in, which ultimately slowed things down on the roadways.
The radar will continue filling in from the west and south through midday, with isolated to scattered downpours. That said, commuters should anticipate more in the way of ponding on roadways, and perhaps some localized flooding.
The bulk of the rain should push north and east as we enter the evening commute, but even so, a bout or two of moderate rainfall can't be ruled out.
Conditions will continue to improve tonight, with just some lingering light rain and drizzle. At this point, it looks like the threat for flooding ceases.
Mother's Day weekend forecast
Saturday's somewhat of a transition day, with a little drizzle north and east in the morning. Elsewhere, expect a brighter day with temperatures running about 10° warmer.
As for Mother's Day, it's the best of the bunch, with mostly sunny skies and highs in the 70s.
