Storms exit after flash flooding; air quality improves | Live updates

NEW YORK (WABC) -- After severe flash flooding walloped parts of New York City and New Jersey Saturday afternoon, the rest of the day's storms were not nearly as wild, with a cold front finally ushering in a much nicer air mass.
With the last of the storms gone, Sunday will be sunny and less humid and will feature better air quality, the skies significantly cleansed of noxious Canadian wildfire smoke. There will still be enough particulate matter in the air to be a problem for sensitive groups.
Central Park saw 1.62 inches of rain, but some areas had more, with Newark reporting 2.38.
Now, under Sunday's clear skies, areas hard-hit by the storm's flooding must focus on cleanup, as the city's aging infrastructure once again endured another test.
