New York City, NY – Severe thunderstorms are likely to develop in the New York City area starting Saturday afternoon, with some storms potentially reaching strong to severe levels. The storms are expected to move eastward throughout the day, bringing large hail and damaging winds, particularly to areas north and west of the city.
According to the National Weather Service, the severe weather risk will peak between 2 p.m. and 10 p.m., with the strongest storms impacting regions such as the Hudson Valley, Catskills, and parts of the lower Adirondacks. New York City itself will experience heavy rainfall and strong winds, with the possibility of isolated tornadoes in more rural areas.
Local residents are urged to stay weather-aware and ensure they have multiple ways to receive storm warnings. As the storms develop, be prepared to take shelter indoors if needed.
With the cold front pushing through the region, the risk for severe weather will gradually decrease as it reaches the coast later in the evening. However, be advised that more warnings may follow as the situation develops.
