Weather preparations

Portions of New York City could be drenched with heavy rains and nearby surroundings. It could disrupt your travel activities. The heavy rains could also cause small flooding in affected areas.

Check the weather updates if you would go for travel, outdoor activities, or vacations, especially since heavy downpours could result in reduced road visibility.

Moreover, be careful with flooding, flash floods, and mudslides. Commuters and residents should be aware of the potential flooding. If the rain causes power outages, be mindful of using generators. Misusing generators could result in health risks affecting you and your family.

As portions of the United States began to feel the winter, the weather would be colder due to the chilly rain.
