The Tri-State Area is preparing for significant rainfall expected to continue through Monday morning, with forecasts indicating up to an inch of rain is possible. This could lead to minor flooding, especially in low-lying areas. CBS News New York's meteorologist Vanessa Murdock predicts a cooler week ahead, with temperatures ranging from the upper 40s to low 50s Fahrenheit (8-10°C). This weather system is part of a broader pattern affecting the region, bringing wet conditions and cooler temperatures as the week progresses. Residents are advised to be cautious on the roads due to the expected wet conditions, which could cause travel delays. Commuters should plan accordingly, considering the reduced visibility and increased travel times.
