    Most NYC neighborhoods already have at least a half-foot of snow on the ground during the ongoing winter storm, according to the National Weather Service.

    The latest report from Central Park had 8.3 inches of snow on the ground as of 4 p.m. on Sunday, Jan. 25. The highest total in the city thus far, according to the unofficial data, can be found in the southeast Bronx; the Throgs Neck Bridge came in with a reported 11.3 inches of snow as of 4:16 p.m. Sunday.

    A modest 8.3 and 9 inches of snow were on the ground at JFK and LaGuardia Airports, respectively, at 4 p.m.

    The snow is expected to continue through this evening and may transition into a period of a wintry mix of snow and sleet. When the snow began falling early on Sunday morning, most forecasters predicted city snow totals of between 6 and 12 inches.

    Here’s a rundown of NWS-reported snowfall totals across the city on Sunday:

    • Throgs Neck Bridge, Bronx: 11.3 inches at 4:16 p.m.

  • NYC woman killed by flying solar panel during nor’easter

    [ad_1]

    There has been at least one storm-related death in New York City. A 76-year-old woman was struck and killed by a solar panel in Brooklyn, officials said.

    It happened just after 10:30 a.m. Sunday at 3100 Ocean Parkway.

    According to the Department of Buildings, a solar panel from the top of a carport structure in an outdoor parking lot flew about 20 feet through the air before hitting the woman. She was rushed to the hospital, where she later died. 

    The incident is under investigation, but it took place while a wind advisory was in effect throughout New York City due to the nor’easter that’s been impacting our area. Officials have taken several precautions in the area since the incident, including temporarily closing one of the nearby Q train entrances, as well as issuing a partial vacate order to the parking lot. 

    New York City’s Parks Department said it has received 265 reports of downed trees. They confirmed 12 streets had been obstructed by falling trees or limbs, at least half of which had been cleared. 

    As of Monday morning, peak wind gusts during the storm were unofficially calculated at 42 mph in Brooklyn. 

    Wind and coastal flooding have been the top concerns with this storm. A Coastal Flood Warning remains in effect for New York City, Long Island and and Westchester County through 8 p.m. Monday.

  • Coastal storm warning: NYC under state of emergency with heavy rain, wind and shore flooding expected | amNewYork

    Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency on Sunday for the city’s five boroughs, as a major coastal storm moves into the region.

    The nor’easter is expected to bring isolated coastal flooding along the shore as well as heavy rain — between 1.5 and 3 inches are possible — and wind gusts exceeding 40 mph at times through Monday afternoon.

    The state of emergency enables New York’s government to mobilize and respond quickly to any storm-related emergencies, from power outages to flooding and other related issues. Utility companies such as Con Edison have already dispatched more than 1,600 additional workers across New York City, the Mid-Hudson Valley and Long Island, according to Hochul. 

    Meanwhile, the city is under several storm-related weather advisories and warnings from the National Weather Service, which underscore the expected storm severity.

    A wind advisory is in effect for New York City through 6 p.m. Monday. Sustained winds are expected to reach 20 to 25 mph, with gusts of up to 45 mph at times. Combined with saturated ground from the expected rainfall, the conditions are prime for falling trees and power lines, especially in areas of the city served by overhead wires.

    Visit coned.com or call 800-75-CONED to report any outages or check on the repair status.

    The anticipated wind forecast also led the MTA to ban all empty tractor-trailers from its bridges from 3 p.m. on Sunday until the storm clears. 

    Coastal areas of Manhattan, Brooklyn, Queens and Staten Island are also under a coastal flood warning until 6 p.m. Monday. Low-lying areas near the shoreline may see inundation of between 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 feet during high tide cycles. The flooding will likely strike basements, parking lots and front lawns.

    Monday’s Columbus Day Parade along 5th Avenue in Midtown was cancelled due to the storm. Because Monday is a legal holiday in New York for Columbus Day, Italian Heritage Day and Indigenous Peoples Day, alternate-side parking rules are suspended.

  • DC region under storm alert due to nor’easter storm bringing steady rain, heavy winds – WTOP News

    [ad_1]

    The D.C. region will be under a storm alert into Monday, as a nor’easter storm impacting the East Coast will bring heavy winds and rain.

    The D.C. region will be under a storm alert into Monday, as a nor’easter storm impacting the East Coast will bring heavy winds and rain.

    The storm could bring “dangerous rip currents, gusty winds and heavy rain up much of the East Coast through early next week,” according to the National Weather Service.

    Meaning travel, whether by flight or by car around the region, could be significantly impacted.

    While Sunday’s rain is not expected to be heavy, it will be windy with gusts up to 45 mph across the D.C. area. Temperatures will remain in the 60s throughout the day. Rain and wind continue overnight, with gusts likely to reach 35 to 40 mph.

    Coastal flooding concerns also continue overnight, with the high tide along the Potomac River.

    As the coastal low begins to move away from the Mid-Atlantic, wind-swept showers continue Monday, with northerly wind gusts up to 40 mph. Expected rainfall will range from a half-inch to over two inches across the D.C. area, with the highest rainfall totals east of Interstate 95.

    Highs will range between the upper 50s to lower 60s.

    According to WTOP’s Steve Dresner, the nor’easter storm could be around for awhile and slow to leave the area.

    A few showers may remain Tuesday morning, then clouds and winds should decrease throughout the day. Some sunshine in the afternoon should allow temperatures to near 70.

    Winds remain breezy out of the North Wednesday, but more sunshine and higher temperatures in the 70s are expected.

  • East Coast bracing for potential nor’easter this weekend

    [ad_1]

    A coastal storm is forecast to develop off the southeastern U.S. this weekend, with heavy rainfall, strong winds and coastal flooding expected to impact the East Coast through the beginning of next week.   

    The Interstate 95 corridor should be on alert from the Delmarva Peninsula up into the Northeast and New England region.  

    As the storm moves up the coast, the National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration’s Weather Prediction Center gives it a “slight” risk, or a level two out of four, for excessive rainfall for parts of the mid-Atlantic on Saturday.

    As the threat shifts farther to the north through the weekend, the excessive rainfall also moves northward, with the threat level remaining at a two out of four on the Weather Prediction Center’s scale.

    Models disagree on the timing and location of rainfall that this storm will drop, but current models show upward of 3-5 inches of rain possible along the I-95 corridor.

    Why isn’t it called a nor’easter just yet?  

    To qualify as a nor’easter, the system must meet certain metrics from the National Weather Service. 

    One of those includes that the storm “develop in the latitudes between Georgia and New Jersey within 100 miles east or west of the East Coast,” according to the NWS. Forecast models currently disagree with where the system is developing, which is why we are holding off on this terminology until it is definitive.  

    Nor’easters are usually associated with winter weather, as these occur more frequently between September and April. Since this storm system will not produce hazardous weather that we typically see with more common nor’easters, coastal storm is the proper terminology at this time. 

    Regardless of what we refer to this as, a coastal storm will bring coastal flooding, heavy rain and strong winds to the East Coast over the weekend and start of next week. The threat appears to diminish after Monday, as the risk for excessive rainfall downgrades to a one out of four on the Weather Prediction Center scale.
