gothamist.com • • general
Key Points:
- A nor’easter that hit New York and New Jersey over the weekend will continue to bring rain and breezy conditions on Monday, but the worst of the storm has passed, with temperatures in the mid-to-upper 60s and scattered showers expected.
- The MTA plans to run full rush hour service on Monday, including restoring the Long Island Rail Road’s Long Beach Branch, which was suspended due to flooding; the ban on empty tractor-trailers on bridges has also been lifted.
- NJ Transit and PATH train services are mostly unaffected, and regional airports are expected to operate normally, though ferry services faced cancellations on Sunday due to rough seas.
- Tens of thousands remain without power across the region, with utilities reporting widespread outages caused by strong winds knocking down trees and branches onto power lines; restoration efforts are underway but timelines vary by area.
- The storm caused at least one fatality from a falling tree, and city officials anticipate cleanup will take several days, urging residents to report fallen or damaged trees through official channels.
