A wet and windy storm is set to hit New York City on Wednesday, delivering up to two inches of rain and gusty winds.

The heaviest rainfall is expected between 2 p.m. and 4 p.m., with wind gusts of up to 40 mph likely.

The National Weather Service warns of potential flooding, fallen tree limbs and power outages during the storm.

The New York City Emergency Management Department has issued a weather alert for Wednesday. A Wind Advisory has also been issued for all five boroughs from noon to 10 p.m. Wednesday, the agency said. 

Travel conditions could also be hazardous, especially on bridges and particularly for large vehicles like empty tractor-trailers and tandem trucks. Unsecured objects and holiday decorations could also be blown around, the NWS said. 

A cold blast will arrive after the storm moves out. Temperatures are expected to plummet from near 60 degrees on Wednesday to the 20s on Thursday. 

The storm’s impact on New York’s drought conditions remains uncertain.

Mayor Eric Adams and the Department of Environmental Protection Commissioner issued a drought watch on Nov. 2, before upgrading it to a drought warning on Nov. 18.

However, on Monday, Adams said recent rainfall had allowed the city to lift its bans on grilling in parks and the use of open flames and fireworks. Those restrictions were put in place last month following several wildfires, including a brush fire in Prospect Park. 

“The rain we’ve received isn’t nearly the additional foot of rain we’d need to replenish our upstate reservoirs, so we need all New Yorkers to continue conserving water whenever you can,” Adams said in a statement.
