Passaic. In southeast New York… Bronx… Kings (brooklyn)…

* a slow moving cold front approaching the area will provide a
focus for the development of numerous showers and
thunderstorms… some of which could repeatedly move over the
same areas. These storms also could produce torrential
rainfall… with rainfall rates of 1 to 2 inches per hour.

* An additional 1 to 2 inches of rainfall is expected today… with
locally higher amounts. This rainfall… on top of the rain which fell
