What is a Flash Flood Warning?

A Flash Flood Warning is issued when a flash flood is imminent or occurring. If you are in a flood-prone area move immediately to high ground. A flash flood is a sudden violent flood that can take from minutes to hours to develop. It is even possible to experience a flash flood in areas not immediately receiving rain.

A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect for most of the tri-state, except Long Island, until 10 p.m.

Monday will include the chance of a few afternoon storms before clearing weather on Tuesday and the start of lower humidity.
