Rare high winds and flash flooding are expected to batter New York City as the potent storm system responsible for killing six in Tennessee pushes northeast into Sunday afternoon.
The low-pressure center that produced dramatic storms across the South on Saturday will head northeast, strengthening as it nears New York, where 50 million people are under flash flood watch.
“This is the first high wind alert for New York City since 2020,” Fox Meteorologist Seth Darling told The Post, noting that the warning means a greater risk of downed trees or power lines.
Within the tri-state area, rare high winds are anticipated to produce gusts of up to 50 mph, especially in areas further east, Darling added.
The heaviest rain is expected to begin around 3 p.m. and last until about 11 a.m. Monday, with up to three inches expected to be dumped along the I-95 corridor.
