Event Summary

Low pressure tracked up the east coast and interacted with a stalled frontal boundary and approaching upper level low pressure system. Strong southerly flow allowed for the transport of tropical moisture, including the remnants of Tropical Storm Nicole, up the coast which resulted in heavy rain and flooding in portions of New York City, Nassau and Rockland Counties. Full service on the 1, 2 and 3 subway lines in Manhattan was suspended due to flooding. The ASOS in Central Park recorded 3.56 inches of total rainfall. All lanes flooded on the Belt Pkwy. from the Brooklyn-Queens County line to Flatbush Avenue. Flooding occurred on the southbound Major Deegan Expressway at 233rd St in the Bronx. The left and right lanes on the Belt Pkwy. were closed due to flooding from JFK Airport to the Brooklyn-Queens County line. Total rainfall recorded by the ASOS at JFK Airport and LaGuardia Airport were 3.08 inches and 3.06 inches respectively.
