Here’s what’s being predicted by the weather folks at WNBC. What they seem to be saying is that weather conditions are going to get worse, way worse, before they get better. The good news: things should be looking up starting Tuesday night. Fingers crossed.

Tonight Rain will be heavy especially south of New York City. Expect gusty winds, up to 50 mph and expect coastal flooding at high tide.

Monday morning, sleep in because there will be heavy rain with winds gusting up to 60 mph. There will also be coastal flooding at high tide.

Monday afternoon through evening: Wind gusts of 60 to 80 mph, with major to extreme coastal flooding at high tide. Widespread power outages are expected.

Tuesday morning: Heavy rain and strong wind. Damage still possible during this phase of the storm. And by Tuesday evening, conditions should get gradually better.
