NEW YORK (1010 WINS) — A Flood Watch is in effect on Monday as rounds of heavy rain continued rolling through the New York City area.<\/p>\n

The downpours, which started Sunday, are expected to last through Monday night. The Flood Watch<\/a> will expire on Tuesday morning.<\/p>\n

The National Weather Service warned of “significant total rainfall of 2 to 3 inches, with locally higher amounts of 4 inches or more.”<\/p>\n

Mayor Zohran Mamdani said city workers were taking various steps to protect the city, including clearing catch basins, inspecting flood-prone neighborhoods, reaching out to people in basement apartments and positioning emergency response teams across the boroughs.<\/p>\n

Temps will warm to the 80s by Wednesday, when the sun is set to return. A mix of sun and clouds are in the forecast on Thursday and Friday, when highs will be in the upper 80s.<\/p>\n
