Tropical Storm Isaias, located in inland Virginia, will continue

to move to north-northeast this morning along the Mid-Atlantic coast. Isaias will slowly weaken as it accelerates northeast today, likely moving over our area this afternoon and evening. However, confidence continues to increase with respect to the magnitude of local hazards and impacts.

 

The main threats with this system involve heavy rainfall, strong winds, minor to moderate coastal flooding, along with high surf and dangerous rip currents. Additionally, a few tornadoes are possible.

 

Locally heavy rainfall is expected with a widespread 1 to 3 inches, with localized amounts up to 5 inches possible. The heaviest rain is most likely to occur across New York City, Northeast New Jersey and the Lower Hudson Valley this morning through this evening, and eastern sections this afternoon into tonight. The strongest winds are likely to occur across New York City Metro, Long Island, northeast New Jersey, southern portions of the Lower Hudson Valley, and southeast Connecticut. Dangerous marine conditions are likely across all of the coastal waters today and tonight. High surf and dangerous rip currents are expected to continue along the ocean beaches Today through Wednesday.

 

The effects from Tropical Storm Isaias are expected to diminish quickly from southwest to northeast across the area late tonight into Wednesday morning.

 

Please limit your travel  if possible. If you require assistance contact our Police Department at 845 564-1100 or Dial 911
