A heat advisory takes effect today for much of the NYC area. Plus, a flood watch has been issued for northwestern parts of New Jersey.
Florida and the central Gulf Coast face a risk of flash flooding in the coming days. A summer camp in Central Texas serving disabled youths reopened barely a week after the flooding. An army of volunteers helped it clean up.
Roads and streets, meanwhile, are likely to flood during the downpour, said the Office of Emergency Management’s advisory. Flooded roads could spell trouble for the city’s bus riders and drivers. The city warned motorists not to drive through flooded roads.
A flash flood warning was in effect in New York City until 9:45 p.m., and New Jersey Gov. Phil Murphy declared a state of emergency. Middlesex, Morris and Somerset counties remained under a flood warning until 7:15 a.m. Tuesday.
