Overview

• Gov. Kathy Hochul declared a state of emergency for New York City, Long Island and Westchester County, following New Jersey’s order, with coastal flood warnings and wind advisories in effect through Monday.
• Wind gusts topping 50 mph have already been recorded from North Carolina to New Jersey, with a 61 mph peak at Cape Lookout, as forecasters warn of additional damaging gusts and 1–3 inches of rain.
• Forecasters expect repeated tidal flooding into Monday, with some New Jersey gauges projected to reach moderate to major flood stage and potentially approach levels not seen since Superstorm Sandy.
• Travel is disrupted as the MTA bans empty tractor-trailers on all city bridges and tunnels, NJ Transit suspends parts of the North Jersey Coast Line and Atlantic City Rail Line, and major Northeast airports report delays and cancellations.
• Utilities have pre-staged roughly 7,100 workers across New York and local officials from Ocean City, Md., to coastal Virginia urge residents to avoid flooded roads and prepare for power outages as the storm slowly moves offshore by Tuesday.
