Flash flood warnings for tomorrow have been issued by the National Weather Service. The storms are not expected to be as severe as Wednesday’s short, heavy rain which brought the New York Subway system to its knees.

Thunderstorms are being predicted for Thursday night and Friday morning. They’re talking over an inch of rain. The MTA says it’s ready with additional personnel and, hopefully, additional expertise.

"We will be strategically placing pumps throughout the system at potentially flood-prone locations, strategically placing management and customer personnel at key stations throughout the system to help our customers navigate in case of service disruptions… The authority put hundreds of buses from New York City Transit, Long Island Bus and its express and suburban bus fleets on reserve in case they are needed to move stranded subway passengers on Friday. The authority also “rechecked drains to ensure they are free of debris from yesterday’s event,” said Elliot G. Sander, the chief executive of the M.T.A., said Thursday afternoon at a news conference.
