纽约市东北风暴肆虐：皇后区发龙卷风警报 肯尼迪机场降雨创11月单日第二高纪录
一场东北风暴11月12日席卷纽约市，国家气象局当天中午对皇后区部分地区发布龙卷风警报，肯尼迪国际机场附近出现低垂旋转的云层，警报持续至下午2时，所幸未有龙卷风触地报告。
风暴给纽约市带来强降雨与冰雹，肯尼迪机场单日降雨量达3.32英寸，成为该机场有记录以来11月单日降雨第二高；中央公园降雨量超过1.6英寸，布鲁克林与皇后区的居民区出现突发洪水，远洛克威地区还下了冰雹。
恶劣天气导致肯尼迪、拉瓜迪亚、纽瓦克三大机场实施地面停飞，数百架次航班延误。国家气象局同时发布沿海洪水提示，11月13日上午8时至中午，纽约市滨水低洼地区可能出现最高6英寸的积水。
气象部门预计降雨将持续至13日下午4时左右，随后逐渐停歇，纽约市13日晚开始转干，气温降至40华氏度上下，周末转为寒冷干燥。上州地区则迎来今冬首场大雪，库珀斯敦以南的哈特威克积雪达12.5英寸。
市府提醒民众风暴期间远离滨水地区，驾车注意低洼路段积水。
Nor'easter Lashes New York City: Tornado Warning in Queens as JFK Rain Sets Second-Highest November Day on Record
A nor'easter swept New York City on November 12. The National Weather Service issued a tornado warning for parts of Queens around midday after low, rotating clouds appeared near John F. Kennedy International Airport. The warning remained in effect until 2 p.m., and no tornado touchdown was reported.
The storm brought heavy rain and hail to the city. JFK Airport recorded 3.32 inches of rain in a single day, its second-highest November daily total on record. Central Park received more than 1.6 inches, flash flooding hit residential neighborhoods in Brooklyn and Queens, and hail fell in the Far Rockaway area.
The severe weather forced ground stops at JFK, LaGuardia and Newark airports, delaying hundreds of flights. The Weather Service also issued a coastal flood advisory: from 8 a.m. to noon on November 13, low-lying waterfront areas of the city could see up to 6 inches of inundation.
Forecasters expected the rain to continue until about 4 p.m. on November 13 before tapering off, with the city turning dry on the night of the 13th, temperatures falling to around 40 degrees Fahrenheit, and a cold, dry weekend ahead. Upstate areas saw their first major snow of the season, with 12.5 inches in Hartwick, south of Cooperstown.
City officials urged residents to stay away from waterfront areas during the storm and to watch for standing water on low-lying roads.
