Transit agencies in the New York City area were promising a fairly smooth commute with some lingering delays on Tuesday, the morning after heavy rain pummeled the region, flooding parts of the subway system, inundating major roads and causing long flight delays.

Flash flooding alerts were sent in New Jersey, Maryland, Virginia, and Washington, D.C., due to storms that also hit New York City.

New York City’s subway system is fully operational following overnight heavy rains. But some roads in New York and New Jersey remained closed for the Tuesday morning commute and there were dozens of flight delays and cancelations at area airports,
