New Yorkers, here’s what you need to know about this week’s nor’easter:
The storm is expected to pass offshore, keeping the heaviest rain east of New York City. But we should still prepare for gusty winds, rain, and some high-tide flooding beginning today, peaking Friday, and potentially continuing through Sunday.
If you live near the coast, move your car to higher ground or away from streets that regularly flood.
Secure loose outdoor items, including furniture and garbage containers, that could be picked up by strong winds. Storm tracks can change, so please stay informed and be prepared.
