A Drought Warning was issued for New York City on Monday, but significant rain is forecast to arrive soon to the Big Apple. Here's when.

While an inch of rain is expected to fall by the end of Friday, meteorologists say it still won’t be enough to undo the region’s drought conditions.

Dry conditions and a lack of rain have pushed NYC officials to declare a drought warning. This comes after a drought watch went into effect just a little over two weeks ago. This is the second of three levels of water conservation in the city.
