  • Showers and storms are expected to move in Wednesday night into Thursday and some storms could turn severe, producing damaging winds, locally heavy downpours and possibly a tornado or two
  • New York City could see another inch of rain from this upcoming system, while points north and west could see up to 3 inches; lesser amounts are expected for New Jersey

The devastating toll of Ida continues to mount across the tri-state area, which is looking at renewed threats of potentially severe weather, including flash floods and isolated tornadoes, on Wednesday, according to Storm Team 4.

Tuesday is another quiet day following a pleasant Labor Day weekend, but the humidity begins to creep back in overnight into Wednesday ahead of a cold front that will trigger some showers and thunderstorms.

A few severe storms could produce damaging winds, locally heavy downpours and possibly a tornado or two, while flash flooding also remains a concern, especially for those still drying out from Ida's record-breaking rainfall last week.

New York City could see another inch of rain from this upcoming system, while points north and west could see up to 3 inches.

Lesser amounts are expected for New Jersey, where flood warnings continue to remain in effect around parts of the Passaic River even as the waters recede. Gov. Phil Murphy reminded the people of his state to stay safe.

Showers are expected to linger into Thursday morning but another gorgeous stretch of sunny weather in the high 70s to low 80s returns Friday and will stay through the weekend.

Hurricane Larry, meanwhile, a Category 3 storm with maximum sustained winds of 115 mph as of the National Hurricane Center's latest update, is forecast to stay out of the Atlantic but will still impact tri-state coastal areas with large waves, rough surf and dangerous rip currents later this week.

Scientists say climate change increases the frequency of extreme weather events, including large tropical storms that swirl into powerful hurricanes. In New York City, Mayor Bill de Blasio laid out a new severe weather plan Friday that he says will help the five boroughs better prepare to combat such increasingly frequent disasters.

At this point, de Blasio says Wednesday night's forecast doesn't appear to carry too drastic an impact but he pledged to continue closely monitoring the weather data and to notify New Yorkers should anything change in the forecast.
