The Big Apple could be underwater as the work week begins, with an intense nor\u2019easter <\/a>expected to sock the city this weekend with significant rain and strong winds.<\/p>\n

Forecasters say the storm could dump between 1.5 to 3 inches of precipitation throughout the five boroughs beginning Sunday night and continuing into Monday \u2014 but officials are warning the total amounts could be much higher.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe combination of persistent, strong onshore winds, high surf and high astronomical tides may lead to some East Coast communities experiencing\u00a0significant coastal flooding impacts,\u201d the National Weather Service warned.<\/p>\n

New Yorkers living in low-lying zones and on the coast should prepare for flooding the likes of which filled basements and subways rapidly in July.<\/a><\/p>\n

Communities along southern Brooklyn, southern Queens, the eastern shore of Staten Island, and the Bronx shoreline are at greatest risk for flooding and storm impact, the city\u2019s Emergency Management warned.<\/p>\n

The rainfall was forecasted to start as a trickle throughout the day Saturday before gearing up after 8 a.m. on Sunday.<\/p>\n

By Sunday evening, rain could be a constant presence, while winds reach 23 mph with gusts as high as 41 mph, the NWS said.<\/a> <\/p>\n

That forecast will stay steady throughout the day Monday, only easing up into evening hours.<\/p>\n

Coastal Flood Watches are in effect from Sunday through Monday as 12\u201315-foot waves could mean some areas could see tides reach 2\u20134 feet above normal \u2014 meaning significant beach erosion and dune breaching is possible for coastal communities. <\/p>\n

New Jersey was under a state of emergency starting as early as midday Saturday to prepare for the threat.<\/p>\n

The NYCEM is encouraging the Big Apple\u2019s coastal neighborhoods and other flood-prone areas to take action on Saturday to get ahead of the chaos, including making a Go-bag with vital supplies in case of an emergency evacuation.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re keeping a close eye on this storm as it moves up the coast,\u201d said\u202fNYCEM Commissioner Zach Iscol.\u202f<\/p>\n

\u201cWhile the exact impacts will depend on the storm\u2019s track, we\u2019re expecting strong winds and coastal flooding, especially in our shoreline communities.
