The remnants of Tropical Storm Ophelia returned to New York City on Friday, causing heavy rainfall and triggering a state of emergency. The city experienced nearly 6 inches of rain in a 24-hour period, making it the wettest day since Hurricane Ida. Some areas, including JFK Airport, City Island, and Park Slope, were hit particularly hard. The heavy rainfall was caused by an atmospheric pattern similar to Hurricane Ida, with Ophelia's moist leftovers encountering a mass of colder air, resulting in repeated rain clouds forming over the region.

The flooding has also led to concerns about sewage overflow and water contamination in the city's waterways.
