Locations such as Ridge, New York, and Oak Ridge Reservoir, New Jersey, recorded 24-hour rainfall amounts upwards of 5 inches by late Tuesday night. The heaviest rainfall amounts are expected in northern New Jersey, northeastern Pennsylvania, southeastern New York state and southwestern Connecticut, where a widespread 4-8 inches can be reached for some through Wednesday. Impacts from the storm in southern New England will be similar to what Henri caused in late August when travel delays and power outages were widespread. Significant rises were anticipated on area streams and secondary rivers in the New York City area and minor to moderate flooding was expected in unprotected locations.ĪccuWeather forecasters say one added concern with the storm besides its strong winds and drenching rain is that it will target areas that were slammed by Tropical Storm Henri and Tropical Rainstorm Ida during the summer. However, forecasters warned that additional downpours through Wednesday morning, along with runoff from earlier rainfall, could result in flooding in poor drainage areas. The heaviest and steadiest rain had subsided for the New York City area as of midday Tuesday.

"We know how quickly these storms can escalate, so everyone, especially those living in basement apartments, should plan accordingly," New York City Mayor Bill de Blasio warned over Twitter on Monday. The New York City Emergency Management also issued a travel advisory for Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon. The National Weather Service had issued a flash flood watch for New York City to account for the impacts by the heaviest rounds of rainfall. The rainfall that pushed into New York City late Monday evening is expected to taper off Wednesday afternoon. Two similar storms developed in the northern Pacific and slammed into the western U.S. Forecasters said the storm had undergone a period of rapid intensification overnight Monday, and before Tuesday evening had officially met the benchmark for bombogenesis, which is when the central pressure of a storm drops by 0.71 of an inch of mercury (24 millibars) or more over a 24-hour period to become what is known as a bomb cyclone.
