Nor'easter Brings Flooding and Heavy Rain to NYC Region
US · Published Sep 28, 2026
• A slow-moving nor'easter continues to impact the New York City region, bringing heavy rain, strong winds, and coastal flooding.
• As of Sunday, Central Park recorded 2.44 inches of rain, while parts of eastern Long Island have seen nearly 4 inches.

Impact & Risks

The ongoing storm poses significant risks, particularly in low-lying and poor-drainage areas prone to flooding. Coastal communities along the Jersey Shore and Long Island are experiencing high water levels, with some roads submerged and vehicles partially underwater. Residents in these areas are advised to avoid flooded streets and exercise caution. Strong winds, though weaker than earlier in the weekend, continue to pose a risk of downed trees and power lines. The Hudson Valley and areas north of New York City could see an additional 2 to 2.5 inches of rain, increasing the likelihood of localized flooding.
