NEW YORK (WABC) -- Heavy rain and dangerous flash flooding remain the biggest concern overnight and into Wednesday morning as slow-moving storm system pushes across the Tri-State area.
There were multiple lows developing south of the city Tuesday night. How much rain, and how long it will last over the city depends on if the low cuts right up the coast or over central Long Island.
If it comes up the coast, that would prolong some of the heavy rain into New York City into 4 or 5 a.m. before it pushes north and east, and would maintain the heavy rain longer into morning hours over the Hudson Valley.
More likely is that the heavy rain will last until at least 3 a.m. in the city before focusing more north and east of the city, but it could still make for a rough morning commute.
Some parts of the Tri-State had already seen close to 10 inches of rain, like areas of northwestern New Jersey.
An AccuWeather Alert remains in effect Wednesday morning due to the potential for ongoing flooding problems and a few lingering showers, especially north and east of the city. Conditions should slowly improve through the day, with clouds breaking for some sunshine and only a chance of a spotty shower or thunderstorm during the afternoon. Widespread heavy rain is not expected after the morning hours.
