The Hurricane Centre says remaining moisture will move into our region on Monday night with most areas seeing less than 40 mm of rain and no significant wind is likely.
Tropical Storm Henri made landfall Sunday afternoon in southern New England along the coast of Rhode Island.
Downgraded from a hurricane, Henri brought heavy rain which closed bridges, swamped homes and roads and left many people trapped in vehicles.
Some places such as New York City received more than 150 mm of rain in mere hours.
