A sprawling storm system that already brought a plethora of severe weather threats, including flooding and tornadoes, to the South has brought its energy to our region. Since Saturday afternoon, waves of heavy rain, strong winds, coastal flooding, and even some snow have been hitting the region since Saturday afternoon.
We saw reports of coastal flooding and the rainfall totals were impressive.

It appears that the brunt of the storm has passed, but bouts of heavy rain will continue during the next few hours.
The storm, the third in the latest display of storms this week, will be the last before we get a well-deserved break next week.

Stormy schedule
Now – 1 AM Sunday: The storm is diminishing. Freshly fallen rain combined with saturated ground from recent heavy rainfall will continue to be a flooding concern, especially across river basins in northern New Jersey that saw some minor flooding from the recent storm. Final rain totals are expected to reach 1-3 inches.
CBS New York
Winds will continue to increase, gusting between 25 and 45 mph at times. The highest gusts are likely to be on the coast. Saturated ground combined with strong winds may topple trees.
Minor coastal flooding is possible during high tide cycles, as this storm coincides with the new moon, which typically causes higher than normal tides. Snow in Ulster County turns to rain. Temperatures rise to nearly 50.
Rest of Sunday: Most of the rain will end by 2 a.m., except in eastern parts of Long Island, where it may last a little longer.
CBS New York
Even with the storm over, winds will remain high throughout Sunday. Wind speeds will likely range from 25-45 mph, with some winds likely over 50 mph.
CBS New York
Residual flooding from full rivers will continue. A few remaining showers are expected. Some snow showers are also possible, once cold air enters the area. These will be mostly limited to areas north and west of the city.
CBS New York
The risk of coastal flooding has decreased. Highs will be achieved early in the day with temperatures falling steadily through the afternoon.
Monday: Mostly sunny, but windy and cold. Highs are in the mid to upper 40s. Winds will be in the 40-50 mph range at times, which will feel like the 20s and 30s.
