Severe thunderstorms to impact tri-state area ahead of Labour Day weekend
The tri-state area, including parts of New York, New Jersey, and Connecticut, is set to experience multiple waves of strong-to-severe thunderstorms from Tuesday to Thursday, as reported by NBC New York. A meandering front will act as a focal point for storm development, with the strongest storms potentially turning severe. These storms are expected to originate in Western New York and move southeast through the Poconos, Catskills, Northern New Jersey, and the Hudson Valley before reaching the NYC metro area. Flash flooding, hail, and isolated tornadoes are possible, with rainfall rates potentially exceeding 2 inches per hour in the strongest cells. Rainfall totals over the three days are expected to be less than an inch for most areas, with isolated locations receiving higher amounts.
