A Tropical Storm Warning has been issued for coastal New York, including Long Island, and the Long Island Sound in Westchester and southern Fairfield County, effective early Thursday evening, July 9.

A Flash Flood Watch is in effect from 6 a.m. Friday until 12 a.m. Saturday.
"Low pressure moving up the coast Friday into early Saturday has potential to produce flooding rains. Exactly where the heaviest rains occur will be highly dependent on the low track, which remains uncertain," the weather service said.
