Hochul urges all New Yorkers to prioritize their safety by taking necessary precautions and staying updated with the forecast over the weekend and into the beginning of next week.”

On Saturday, Mayor Eric Adams of New York City issued a travel advisory, urging residents to take precautions due to the weather conditions. He advised people to secure any loose items outdoors and to stay updated on the forecast.

Meteorological forecasts predict that there will be heavy rain in certain parts of California later in the week.
According to Fox Weather, the West Coast is bracing for two upcoming storms. The first storm is predicted to arrive on Sunday.
According to a tweet from the National Weather Service, most parts of the Los Angeles area and its surroundings will only receive up to an inch of rain. However, the second storm system expected to arrive on Tuesday night brings about “much more uncertainty,” as stated by the NWS.
According to Fox Weather, Southern California is set to experience heavy rainfall later this week as a result of the second storm. Several inches of rain are expected in the area starting from Thursday.
