"New York City is officially under both a coastal flood advisory and a wind advisory as a fast-moving, feisty storm system barrels through the region, bringing rain, rough gusts and a dramatic temperature drop all in one day. The setup will make for classic Northeast weather whiplash. A strong low-pressure system pushed into the area overnight, bringing warm air northward."
"Wind, however, is the headliner. A wind advisory is in effect across the city and the wider tri-state area, with gusts expected to reach 45 to 50 miles per hour and potentially higher in exposed areas. Those strong southerly winds meeting the mid-morning high tide are what triggered the coastal flood advisory. For coastal neighborhoods in Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island, onshore wind can push water inland, leading to minor coastal flooding."
New York City is under a coastal flood advisory and a wind advisory as a storm brings rain, gusty winds and a sharp temperature drop. Morning temperatures were in the mid-50s with southerly gusts past 40 mph. Rain will fall on and off through late morning, with most areas receiving about an inch and generally under two inches, creating ponding on low-lying roads that could cause hydroplaning. Gusts of 45–50 mph are expected, higher in exposed locations, and onshore wind with high tide can cause minor coastal flooding up to 2–2.5 feet above normal. Winds shift west by late afternoon, bringing much colder air and temperatures into the 30s with lower wind chills.
