New York City will see a cold and gloomy end to the week, with wet and blustery weather expected to continue through much of Friday.
According to the National Weather Service, rain is expected to keep falling until Friday evening — though not with the same intensity as Thursday’s storms, which mainly affected parts of Brooklyn and Queens.
“We actually did have multiple reports of flash flooding in Southern Queens, with that thunderstorm that kept kind of training over the area for a couple of hours,” said meteorologist Matt Wunsch. “With that, JFK [airport] actually saw their second wettest day in November on record, with just over three and a half inches of rainfall for the day.”
Wunsch said a tornado warning went into effect at one point, though by the end of the day he said there were no reports of a tornado materializing anywhere in the five boroughs.
Though gusty winds are expected to persist throughout much of Friday — especially out at sea, where a gale force wind warning is in place — Wunsch said the forecast is looking less volatile than Thursday. He said snow is not likely.
“We should still see on-and-off rain pretty much through the day; anywhere from another quarter to a half an inch of rainfall is possible across the entire city, before the rain starts to kind of taper off as we get into the overnight tonight,” he said.
Temperatures will only reach the low to mid-40s, which is a lot chillier than the last several days.
The air will stay cool into Saturday and Sunday, with highs in the low-to-upper 40s, Wunsch said. Skies are expected to be dry with a mix of sun and clouds.
