Get ready to bundle up and stay dry, New Yorkers — a winter storm is heading our way.
The New York City Emergency Management Department issued a travel advisory for the afternoon of Dec. 22 through Friday, Dec. 23. Rain will move through the city during the afternoon of Dec. 22 with periods of heavy rainfall likely taking place throughout the evening. There may be a brief lull in the morning on Dec. 23 before increasing again during an approaching cold front.
Temperatures are expected to drop 10 to 15 degrees over a one to two-hour period when the cold front moves through the area. The temperature is expected to continue to fall overnight with a nearly 40-degree swing expected from Friday afternoon to Saturday morning with wind chills nearing zero. Black ice may form in areas with standing water as temperatures decrease.
A Coastal Flood Warning is in effect for southern Queens for the morning tide on Dec. 23. Due to the storm being combined with a new moon, starting at around 5 a.m., it is expected that the storm will produce moderate to locally major coastal flooding with up to 3 feet of above-ground inundation in Jamaica Bay, with a peak surge between 8 and 9 a.m. and water levels then receding through about 10 a.m.
Additionally, a citywide Wind Advisory will take effect from 10 p.m. on Dec. 22 through 10 p.m. Dec. 23. Winds at speeds of 20 to 30 miles per hour are expected to develop Thursday night with gusts up to 55 miles per hour overnight into Friday. Peak gusts may reach as high as 60 miles per hour mid-day Friday as a strong cold front pushes through the area.
