Forecasts state that a cold front moving in will cause thunderstorms and strong winds, while some areas are expected to get as much as 1.25 inches of rain.
The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for parts of New York and New Jersey After flash flooding last week caused the majority of the deaths in the region, the National Weather Service has issued a flash-flood watch for much of New Jersey outside of New York City and Philadelphia as well as for several counties in New York State. Ida resulted in the first-ever flash-flood emergency to be issued in the city.
The NYC Emergency Management Department also warned New Yorkers of the storm and its potential for “localized minor-to-moderate urban flooding in low-lying and poor-drainage areas.” Last week, flash floods resulted in at least 11 deaths in the city when basement apartments became inundated with water. “Obviously, we’re concerned that [with] folks who were hit that any new water could be a problem, and we’re also concerned that we could see more than is projected.
Ida’s damage is still being calculated in New Orleans and the Northeast On Wednesday, 11 new deaths were recorded in New Orleans, raising the toll in Louisiana to 26. Nine of the new deaths involved victims between 64 and 79 years old, who experienced “excessive heat during an extended power outage,” according to the city’s health department. Also on Wednesday, New Orleans lifted its 8 p.m. curfew, ten days after the hurricane made landfall.
