BATTERY PARK CITY — As if New Yorkers needed another reason not to be out in the chaotic weather — the storm caused minor flooding along Manhattan's southern shore, according to the National Weather Service.
The rain pushed the water level at the south-eastern tip of Manhattan to 6.9 feet during Monday night's high tide, the weather service said. The water topped the wall by a few inches.
On Tuesday evening, tides were expected to rise 1 to 1.5 feet above normal. The National Weather Service issued a coastal flood advisory from 8 p.m. to 11 p.m.
While meteorologists said the water levels Tuesday night "could be close" to flooding once again, many forecasted the peak would be below flood levels downtown.
Those unlucky enough to be out in the weather on Tuesday may have noticed the water splashing on to and over walkways at the South Cove Marina in Battery Park City.
Mother-of-two Mary Levine, who moved to San Francisco from New York, walked along the waterfront downtown with her children, Maggie 6, and Alex 4.
"We don’t miss the weather here that’s for sure," said Levine.
