Incoming storm to bring cloudy skies, rain
NEW YORK (PIX11) — It was a pleasant end to Memorial Day weekend across the area as temperatures rose back to seasonable levels and the sun was out in full force.
Central Park saw an afternoon high of 73 degrees, which is about average for this time of year. The 70's were plentiful throughout New Jersey, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut as well. However, some coastal locations stayed in the 60s.
Look for conditions to remain quite mild across the area this evening. Temperatures will drop into the low and mid 60s. A few 50s may be seen north and west of the city. Skies will primarily be partly cloudy. In addition, a stray light shower is possible in northeastern New Jersey, the Hudson Valley, and Connecticut.
Clouds will then increase tomorrow as our next storm system approaches the region. Showers are likely from Wednesday through Thursday morning. Some additional wet weather is possible Friday into Saturday as well.

Giant storm sewers address flooding in Queens
QUEENS, N.Y. (PIX11) — When storms dump rain on the city, sewers are put to the test. Some of them can't handle the flow. Flooding is a problem around the city. A multi-billion-dollar mega project is underway in Queens. More Local News A half-mile stretch of storm sewer is being 'cast in place,' where crews build the form and concrete is poured. It will eventually run from 149th Avenue and 224th Street along Springfield Lane in Idlewild Park. It will drain into a creek and Jamaica Bay southwest of Rockaway Boulevard. Thomas Foley is the commissioner of the NYC Department of Design and Construction. 'A great engineering feat that's on budget and on schedule. People won't know this is under their feet,' Foley said. Smaller local lines connect to bigger sewers to channel stormwater and runoff. The new sewers at this location can handle more than a million gallons of water a minute. The plan includes protection measures for almost 5 acres of tidal wetland in Idlewild and Brookville parks. The sewers are below ground. PIX11's Greg Mocker walked inside the 12-foot-wide and 8-foot-tall structures with engineers, workers, and Queens Borough President Donovan Richards. 'With about 40 to 50 years of disinvestment, and developers building homes without putting in sewers, that's environmental racism. This will give people the quality of life they deserve. It's the fruits of our labor,' Richards said. The Southeast Queens Initiative is a group of more than 40 infrastructure projects totaling $2.7 billion, which are rebuilding streets and adding drainage throughout Southeast Queens. Crews are working on different sections and connections in the coming years. The project around Idlewild Park is set to be done in September 2026. City water and sewer customers pay for parts of the projects. Copyright 2025 Nexstar Media, Inc. All rights reserved. This material may not be published, broadcast, rewritten, or redistributed.

Allegan County: Damage from storms is $2.2 million
ALLEGAN, Mich. (WOOD) — Allegan County's emergency management agency says its preliminary assessment has estimated some $2.2 million in damage caused by the severe storm that spawned two tornadoes in the county last week. NWS confirms 2 tornadoes in Allegan County on Thursday The county's Emergency Operations Center put together the preliminary assessment to submit to the office of Gov. Gretchen Whitmer, who may decide whether to issue a state emergency or disaster declaration. If issued, a state or federal disaster declaration would open up access to resources for recovery. The county already declared a local state of emergency. The EOC says it found $440,000 in direct expenses and damage to local government property that fall under Michigan State Police administrative rules for possible reimbursement. Allegan County community reacts to state of emergency The National Weather Service has confirmed two EF1 tornadoes touched down in Allegan County on the night of May 15. One was in the Martin area and the other was near the Sandy Pines campground. As of Wednesday, the EOC said it was not aware of any federal financial assistance for businesses or residents with property damage. It advised people to contact their insurance company. Additional resources may be available by calling 211 or through the American Red Cross, which is reachable at (733.27677). The tornado that marched through Martin sent trees crashing down, damaged some homes and knocked out power for days. 'Trees across the road,' street commissioner Rick Martin said. 'You couldn't go in or out of Martin at 11 p.m., 12 p.m.' He estimated cleanup costs at $250,000 — but said it will end up being less than that because neighbors, people who grew up there, friends and family have stepped up. Neighbor David Cheeseman said he saw it firsthand. 'In the middle of the night, neighbors were out helping clean things up,' Cheeseman said. 'The whole town's been that way. I've always liked it here, but now I love it.' Cheeseman planted a tree before he even closed on his Martin home 20 years ago. It has grown taller and taller as the years have passed and as he built a life there. Now, that special tree will soon come down after it was rocked by the tornado. 'It was 30 feet tall until Thursday night,' he said. Cheeseman said the governor declaring a disaster and offering access to more resources for recovery could be helpful. 'There are people that are going to need help for sure,' he said. While the street commissioner also said the extra help would be beneficial, he again praised his community. 'Any help that comes along, we're not going to turn it down by any means,' he said. 'But the community here has cleaned it up. You talk to anybody, it's family. It's just the way it is.' Crews are trying to finish cleanup before Monday's annual Memorial Day parade through Martin, which includes veterans, the high school band and tractors. It's a priority for the village to keep the parade on. 'It's a goal of the (department of public works), the village of Martin to have this to make sure life goes on,' the street commissioner said.
