Torrential Rain to Slam Tri-State Area for Wednesday PM Rush
Storm Team 4 is tracking the chance for heavy rain and strong winds Wednesday into Thursday, a coastal storm system threatening to dump up to 2 inches of rain in the city and more further north -- right as the evening rush gets underway.
The heaviest rain is expected to arrive during Wednesday's PM commute; it should taper off by midnight, but the rapid, torrential rainfall could expose vulnerable areas to flash flooding. Gusty winds follow Thursday, with Storm Team 4 predicting up to 50 mph gusts possible, mainly in spots east of the city.

Most of the day Wednesday should be dry, apart from some spotty showers -- and while the rain threat dissipates Thursday, temperatures are expected to fall into the high 50s, a near 10-degree drop from the day before.
Conditions improve leading into the weekend, with sunny skies and low-to-mid 60s forecast for Friday and Saturday and a bit warmer, though cloudier, weather expected on Sunday. The threat for more showers returns Monday.
