WEATHER: Rain-soaked storms to menace NYC area again on Monday after Sunday's deadly flooding

NEW YORK (1010 WINS/WCBS 880) – Another round of rain was in the forecast for the New York City area on Monday after major downpours inundated the region late Sunday, leaving at least one woman dead and another missing after they were swept away by floodwaters in Connecticut.

While Monday started off sunny, stormy weather will move in later in the day, according to AccuWeather. The high will be 83.

The thunderstorms in the afternoon and evening may bring damaging winds and heavy downpours, renewing flooding concerns in already saturated areas like western Connecticut and Suffolk County.

NYC Parks officials announced that all beaches in Brooklyn and Queens will remain closed Monday due to dangerous rip currents from Hurricane Ernesto, which was swirling over the Atlantic east of Canada.

A storm unrelated to Ernesto pounded the Tri-State late Sunday with a general 2 to 6 inches of rain—and up to 10 inches in some spots.

About 2.43 inches fell in Central Park, where the 86th Street Transverse was flooded with a foot of water, leading to its temporary closure overnight.

On Long Island, 9.84 inches of rain was recorded in Miller Place and 9.40 inches in Stony Brook. Water rescues were reported across the area, including in Nesconset, Ronkonkoma, and Smithtown.

In New Jersey, hundreds of people got stuck on the flooded Garden State Parkway in East Orange. Flash flooding also led to at least a dozen rescues in Englewood.

Connecticut was perhaps the hardest hit. Gov. Ned Lamont said over 100 people had to be saved by urban search and rescue teams, including in Beacon Falls, where floodwaters trapped 18 people inside the Brookside Inn Restaurant.

In Oxford, Connecticut, one woman was killed and another remained missing Monday after they were swept away by floodwaters. Oxford Fire Chief Scott Pellitier said one woman was in a car and the other was clinging to a sign when a rapid stream of water swept them away.

Rain was extremely heavy in spots, with 10 inches recorded in Newtown, 9.98 inches in Monroe and 9.22 inches in Redding Ridge.

Both the Danbury and Waterbury lines on Metro-North were suspended by the MTA due to flooding.

After Monday’s storms pass through, conditions will become cool and breezy starting Tuesday, making it feel more like autumn as we enter the second half of August.

Highs will be in the low 70s on both Tuesday and Wednesday, and in the upper 70s on Thursday. It'll otherwise be pleasant and dry.
