New York, thank you for staying safe this weekend. The nor'easter is expected to weaken now but continue to bring minor impacts to New York City through Monday. Jamaica Bay reached moderate coastal flood levels this morning, crews are working through more than 1,008 downed tree reports across the five boroughs, and power outages have dropped from about 2,300 customers this morning to about 230.
NYC Emergency Management has coordinated the response with City and State partners since before the storm arrived, and that work continues through recovery. The Downed Tree Task Force remains active into Monday, NYC Parks crews are working 12-hour shifts for a fourth straight day, FDNY remains at an enhanced posture in the Rockaways and Howard Beach, and the Flash Flood Emergency Plan stays active while downpours are possible tonight.
Now we need your help. If your home, apartment or business was damaged, report it at reportdamage.nyc.gov or call 212-615-8329. Every report shows us where the storm hit and helps make the strongest possible case for the support our neighbors need. A damage report and a 311 request do different jobs, so please do both.
The forecast:
🌧️ Bands of moderate to heavy rain continue tonight at a quarter to half an inch per hour, with localized bursts of up to 1 inch per hour. Expect 0.85 to 1.25 inches through Monday, with up to 2 inches possible where downpours repeat. Minor flooding in low-lying and poorly drained areas is possible, and isolated flash flooding can't be ruled out.
🌊 Coastal Flood Advisories are in effect for tonight's and Monday morning's high tides, with 1 to 1.5 feet of water above ground in vulnerable coastal areas.
💨 Gusts of 25 to 30 mph tonight, with a few gusts to 35 mph, easing Monday.
🏖️ A Rip Current Statement and High Surf Advisory are in effect for Brooklyn and southern Queens until 8 p.m., and dangerous rip currents continue through Monday. Dune erosion and beach flooding are possible through Monday morning's high tide.
☔ Showers Monday, ending Monday night.
What to do:
🏠 If you live in a basement, be ready to move to a higher floor if heavy rain begins. Never stay in or re-enter a flooded basement.
🚗 Never walk or drive through floodwater, including flooded roads, underpasses and subway stations. Turn Around, Don't Drown.
🌊 Stay out of the water. City beaches are closed to swimming for the season, and lifeguards are not on duty.
🌳 Stay away from downed trees and power lines. Report fallen trees to 311, and call 911 for downed wires or if a tree endangers people.
⚡ Report outages to Con Edison at 1-800-75-CONED, or to PSEG Long Island at 1-800-490-0075 in the Rockaways.
📸 Take photos of damage before you clean up, and keep your receipts.
🤝 Check on older adults, people with disabilities and neighbors in basement or low-lying homes.
Text NOTIFYNYC to 692-692 for alerts. Basement apartment residents can sign up at nyc.gov/notify and select the basement apartment option to receive automated phone call alerts during flooding.
🚨 Please be advised that the CB6 Office has no power. We have limited access to email but no telephones. Please email us at [email protected] for assistance. Hopefully we will be back to regular business tomorrow ‼️

Here is how to prepare this weekend:
🪑Secure outdoor furniture, decorations, grills, garbage cans etc.
🌊 Clear drains, gutters, and stairwells so water can flow freely.
🚫 Never drive or walk through floodwater.
📲 Sign up for alerts by texting Notify NYC to 692-692, and visit nyc.gov/beready for coastal flooding tips
🚨 Check neighborhood catch basins ahead of the Nor’easter‼️
With a nor’easter 💨🌊en route, now is the time to help keep your neighborhood’s catch basins clear and reduce the risk of flooding.
SWIPE TO LEARN HOW TO CLEAR YOUR CATCH BASIN! 🌧️
Catch basins, commonly known as storm drains or sewer grates, are located along street and highway curbs. They collect stormwater and help prevent flooding. Before and during heavy rain, clear leaves, litter, and other debris from nearby catch basins.
See a problem with a catch basin?
1.Call 311, or
2.Visit on.nyc.gov/311catchbasin to report it.
