Widespread rainfall will last through this evening, becoming moderate to locally heavy at times and posing the potential for nuisance urban and poor drainage ponding of water. The potential for isolated rumbles of thunder exists around mid-morning through early afternoon today within a heavy band of rain that will traverse eastern New York and western New England from west to east. Strong south to southeasterly winds through this morning will pose the threat of power outages and potential property damage should trees, tree limbs, and/or wires be downed. Winds will remain strong through late this evening, maintaining this threat, but will instead be blowing out of the west beginning this afternoon. Cold weather swiftly returns tonight, resulting in patchy freezing and subsequent slippery surfaces. The upcoming week features the continuation of an active weather pattern that could impact holiday travel.
