National Weather Service says gusts to 50 mph, Rainfall a half inch in NYC, locally heavy rainfall possible. Accuweather sounds over-excited.
Not as bad as Hurricane/Superstorm Sandy in 2012, when I lived in Maryland. We had hurricanes hit up there, before, but we typically had winds in our part of the state no more than tropical storm strength. This was different. It sounded like a freight train, and nobody dared go out in it. Unless they were stupid.
