“Memorial Day saw roughly 2 inches of rain soak the city, concluding a three-day stretch of on-and-off precipitation.”
SINGLE SOURCE
One web search result mentions NYC could be on track for its wettest Memorial Day weekend since 1948 due to a powerful stretch of rain. However, another search result for the same day describes the weather as 'Sunny, breezy and mild all day.' Because the specific '2 inches' figure is not corroborated by a second independent source and is contradicted by another weather report, it remains a single-source claim at best.
