HUDSON VALLEY, NY — With a damaging storm due to hit Sunday afternoon, bringing heavy rain and high winds, the National Weather Service has issued hazardous outlooks across the Hudson Valley.
Over a period of 12 hours, 2 to 3 inches of rain are likely — with higher amounts possible in some communities — leading to flooding.
"Rainfall rates could briefly peak at around 1"- 1 1/2" per hour early Monday morning," Bruce Furbeck of First Due Weather said on Facebook.
Due to the raging storm, the Monday morning commute may be slow and difficult, said Alex Sosnowski, AccuWeather senior meteorologist.
Significant rises are expected along large rivers with minor flooding possible across a few areas Monday into Tuesday. Flooding impacts could occur well up tidally affected rivers, including the Hudson. Also, minor to moderate flooding is likely along several quick responding small rivers and streams in the lower Hudson Valley.
