Flash Flood Watch In Effect For Rockland County As Storm Front Moves In

by Monsey.info

The National Weather Service has issued a Flash Flood Watch for Rockland County from Monday evening through Tuesday afternoon as a storm front moves in from the coast.

The rapidly developing low pressure system south of Long Island will likely produce heavy rainfall across the region, the National Weather Service reported. Rainfall totals of 2 to 4 inches with locally higher amounts are possible. Rainfall rates may exceed one inch per hour at times.

The heavy rainfall may produce areas of flash flooding, especially in low lying areas.

Recent storms brought on by the remnants of Hurricane Ida saw historic flooding in New York, with may residences and buildings seeing extensive water damage and even deaths.
