Flood Advisory Issued for Parts of New York Due to Heavy Rain and High Tide
A weather alert, called a Flood Advisory, has been put out for some areas in New York.
This means that due to a lot of rain falling and the tide coming in, the Hudson River is getting very high.
The water could rise 1 to 2 feet in some places, making roads, parking lots, and low-lying yards wet.
People living near the river or in basements should be aware that some minor flooding might happen.
It's important for everyone to be careful and not drive through any flooded streets.
A Flood Advisory is in effect for parts of southeast New York until 6 PM EDT Thursday.
The advisory is due to heavy rain and high tide causing the Hudson River levels to rise.
Water levels are expected to be 1 to 2 feet above ground in affected low-lying areas.
Impacts may include flooding on roads, parking lots, parks, lawns, and in basements of homes and businesses.
Residents are urged to exercise caution and avoid driving through flooded areas.
