Cuomo, signs into law, Friday, June 12, 2020, in New York, a sweeping package of police accountability measures that received new backing following protests of George Floyd's killing. The laws signed by Cuomo, a Democrat, will ban police chokeholds, make it easier to sue people who call police on others without good reason, and set up a special prosecutor's office to investigate the deaths of people during and following encounters with police officers.

ALBANY, N.Y. (AP) — Gov. Andrew Cuomo says New York City area residents should be prepared for heavy winds and rain from a big storm on Tuesday. The storm Isaias — pronounced ees-ah-EE-ahs — was off the Florida coast Sunday and its maximum sustained winds had declined to 65 mph. But it could batter much of the East Coast this week as the system is forecast to track up or just off the Atlantic seaboard. Cuomo said models project it will move over the New York City area — including Long Island and parts of the Hudson Valley — as early as Monday night but primarily on Tuesday.
