NYC subway stations flooded, roads overtaken by water

 

A heavy rainstorm is drenching , dumping buckets down on the streets and causing subway stations to flood with up to four inches of water.

Much of the Tri-State area is expected to receive significant rainfall over the weekend prompting a flood watch and wind advisory for the New York City metro area, including parts of and New England, beginning Saturday morning.

The heavy rainfall, which began Friday evening, is attributed to the merging of two storm systems - one from the north and another from the south.
