Low pressure meandering along a stalled frontal boundary produced scattered showers and thunderstorms across the region. With light upper level flow, these storms were generally slow moving, resulting in flash flooding across parts of New York City and the Lower Hudson Valley. Rainfall amounts in the heaviest storms ranged from around 1 to 1.5 inches.
