Event Summary

A Nor'easter centered off the Delmarva coast produced an extended period of heavy rainfall across the area as it tracked very slowly to the northeast. This caused widespread flooding across portions of the Lower Hudson Valley, New York City and Long Island. A prolonged period of heavy rain caused a mudslide onto the railroad tracks near the Metro North Riverdale train station, which temporarily disrupted service. The entrance ramp from the Throgs Neck Bridge onto the southbound Cross Island Pkwy in Bayside was closed due to flooding. Total rainfall amounts received across Queens County ranged from 3.86 in South Ozone Park to 4.52 inches at John F. Kennedy International Airport.
