Let's check in with meteorologist Monique to wear. Hey, Monique. Okay,
so walk us through what we can expect on this Tuesday. Good morning, Marcy.
Good morning to all of you at home on days like today. I like to watch the
satellite radar throughout the entirety of the day to make sure that if
there's anything that comes up that you need to be made aware of, I'm on top of
it. The storm impacts that I do anticipate for any storms that develop
today include damaging winds, intense lightning, heavy rainfall and the
potential for local flooding. Now we could see more damaging winds and
lightning than the heavy rain and local flooding as those two threats are on
the minor side of things. But the winds that something consistently we're
expecting and these powerful storms will really light up the sky when they
move through. So our future cash shows most of these storms and developing
right around lunchtime. And as we go throughout the day on your Tuesday,
we'll have multiple rounds of scattered storms with best impacts around
dinnertime. As you notice, this is eight p.m. We see really dark greens,
yellows, oranges and reds. Those are showing you those very strong storms
moving through the Bronx area as we go through the latter part of your Tuesday.
Now, Wednesday we could see some more rounds of powerful storms actually
across the entire region. So when it comes to rain for our totals, this is
why I said that we're going to be on the lower and more minor flooding that
we do have a flood wash through tonight. Some of us could get upwards
of three inches of rainfall before the end of the day. But most of us will be
on the lower side of things. So I don't anticipate as much flooding. But again,
it all depends on where you live and where those storms line up. Those wind
gusts will be strong at times. Despite you see a storm or not, we're talking
wind gusts greater than 20 MPH.
