Another weekend washout is socking the New York Metro area, as remnants of a tropical storm drench the region on Saturday.
The city barely got a chance to dry off from last weekend’s destructive deluge when this storm arrived.
A flash flood warning is in effect, according to the National Weather Service, and threats are heightened because soil is still soaked from the storm that flooded schools and homes and halted travel last Friday.
“Parts of the city are still trying to recover from last week’s 8, 9 inches of rain,” Fox Weather meteorologist Christopher Tate told The Post on Saturday.
“So any heavier pockets of rain that make their way into New York City, which we could have today, may cause flooding in areas with poor drainage,” Tate continued.
Thankfully, the storm is nowhere near as severe as last weekend, despite what’s left of Tropical Cyclone Philippe rolling through, he said.
As of Saturday around 12:30 p.m., all inbound flights to John F. Kennedy Airport were being held at their origin until 1:30 p.m., according to FlightAware.
About 150 flights were delayed and seven cancelled, the flight tracking site said.
The airport warned of weather-related disruptions.
“Travelers, please confirm flight status with your airline before heading to the airport,” JFK tweeted.
Newark Liberty International Airport announced Level 1 of its Terminal B had limited access due to weather and had about 90 flight delays and a handful of cancellations.
LaGuardia Airport had no cancellations but at least 21 flights were delayed.
Rain is expected throughout the dreary, 70-degree day, wrapping up around sunset — but paving the way for a beautiful fall Sunday with some clouds and temps near 60 degrees.
The Monday holiday is also shaping up to be sunny and in the 60s, but overnight temps will dip into the 50s.
The wet weather patterns even have meteorologists talking.
Thirteen out of the last 19 weekends have dumped rain on the Northeast, Tate noted.
“It’s just timing,” he said. “Weather patterns typically follow some sort of time pattern and unfortunately, we drew the short straw.”
As a cold front moves through the Northeast, the first freeze and frost of the season are settling in on the Central U.S.
Heat advisories are in effect through the Gulf Coast and California.
“The pendulum swings one way and it’s gonna swing back the other way,” said Tate. “This is a time of year when you can get some larger swings.”
After widespread criticism over its handling of last weekend’s storm, the city was quick to assure New Yorkers that agencies are on top of it and in constant communication with Mayor Adams who is traveling through South America.
“We are ready and you should be as well,” First Deputy Mayor Sheena Wright said Friday in a briefing.
Wright warned those living in basements to move their belongings from the floor and move to higher ground.
“Six inches of moving water can knock over an adult, so try not to step into flood water if you see it,” she added.
The city is now “boosting hazard consciousness” through public safety warnings and advisories, said Zachary Iscol, commissioner of the city’s Office of Emergency Management.
Woodhull Hospital, which had to evacuate due to a power outage in Brooklyn caused by the rainfall last weekend, opened back up Saturday morning for emergency and labor and delivery units.
It is expected to start taking in regular patients on Tuesday.
