A Freak, Fall-Strength Storm Is About to Slam the Northeast With a Month’s Worth of Rain
A powerful storm is about to dump an entire month’s worth of rain on the Northeast, forecasters warn. Forecasters expect repeated rounds of drenching thunderstorms to hammer parts of the region through Wednesday evening, particularly the tri-state area. The New York City metropolitan area can expect two to five inches (five to 13 centimeters) of rain over the next two days, with locally higher amounts possible.
