STORM WATCH: Nor’easter brings heavy rain, damaging winds and significant coastal flooding

Welcome back. I'm meteorologist Alex Calameo. We are live breaking down this Nor'easter for you. Let's take a look at the radar right now. The heaviest bands of rain moving into the city now. Brooklyn, you are getting absolutely soaked. What you can't see here is the wind. You can hear it though, and not only are you hearing the wind with this, but there is also lightning as well, so rumbles of thunder being reported all across the Connecticut Sound. This is now the Long Island Sound. Connecticut, I'm sure you appreciate that one though, right? We do have some on and off downpours expected for the entire morning, but this band right now moving into Stanford, Milford, Fairfield, that is going to really pack a punch. So if you're not up, you will be soon. So you can talk to your friends in a moment because everybody's going to be hearing those storms and the wind that comes with it. We've picked up about half of an inch of rain in places like Kennedy Airport, Bridgeport, you're at about a quarter of an inch of rain. There's a lot more rain to come. So by about noon time to three o'clock, we pick up an additional half of an inch of rain. And then tonight we pick up one to two inches of rain. And then on Sunday we pick up more rain throughout the day. When this storm is over, there is a possibility that parts of Fairfield, Westchester County into the city could see four inches of rain. That is a month of rain in the span of a weekend. This storm means business. The winds that you have out there now, those 40 mile per hour wind gusts, they continue all day today, all night tonight, and all day on Sunday. We have three high tides we need to keep an eye out for. After this storm passes, we've got a pretty quiet work week, but there could be some issues even into Monday morning, Julia.
