The remnants of the previous Hurricane Ian began sliding over the northeastern US Saturday, casting chilly, soggy conditions over the Latest York City area.
Two to 4 inches of rain fell within the metro area Saturday, with air temperatures remaining within the 50s — and more of the identical expected Sunday.
“It’s going to be one in every of those weekends to cozy up indoors,” said Mike Rawlins of Fox Weather.
Intermittent downpours Sunday could add as much as two additional inches to the overall rainfall in some spots, Rawlins said — welcome news after a dry summer.
“A lot of the region stays in a moderate to severe drought,” Rawlins noted. “So while this rain is way needed, it won’t wipe away the growing deficit for the world.”
Since June 1, 13.8 inches of rain have fallen at Central Park, well under the historic 18-inch average.
This summer has been the second driest on record at John F. Kennedy International Airport, where just over 7 inches of rain fell since June 1, in accordance with Fox Weather.
