Torrential rainfall began hammering New York City on Saturday night, with 4.45 inches of rain falling in Central Park in just a few hours.
The rain was from tropical moisture fed by Henri, not the outer bands.
As the storm continues to shift farther east, it is important to note the effects will still be felt well outside the cone, regardless of whether the center passes over land or just offshore.
