Sunday weather forecast for New York and New Jersey -
The storm is expected to move through the tri-state area on Sunday evening. According to an AccuWeather alert, parts of New York will experience heavy rain and wind gusts of up to 45 miles per hour, with 1 to 2 inches of rainfall expected.
“It’s looking like an inch or two of rain, and it will be pretty gusty. We could see some periodic 30 to 40 mile per hour gusts throughout the city,” Fox Weather meteorologist Cody Braud told The New York Post Saturday. “And closer to the coast, it could be upwards of 50 miles an hour. I wouldn’t be surprised if we’re put on a wind advisory for tomorrow.”
Lingering showers are possible on Monday morning, but conditions should dry out by the afternoon. Brighter weather is expected on Tuesday.
“It will be a couple of waves, we’ll get a secondary wave into the nighttime hours,” Braud told the outlet. “There may be some lingering rain Monday morning, but it will be light.”
