88 degrees in Newark today? That ties the daily record set in 1941. Now, though, we're looking at the threat of severe storms. StormTeam4NY has the latest on how the weather could impact your evening if you live in the NYC area
A cold front moves through late in the day, with a line of showers and thunderstorms likely between 3 p.m. and 7 p.m. They should enter northwest New Jersey and New York's Sullivan and Ulster counties first, then hit the NYC metro area by about 5 p.m.The system should move out over eastern Long Island last, around 7 p.m., weakening as it goes.
The chance of severe weather for the tri-state did increase over the course of the week, though, and stretches from Philadelphia, up through central and northern New Jersey, across New York City and up into Connecticut, based on the latest forecast.The primary threat at this point is straight-line wind gusts of 60 mph or higher. Lightning is also expected. The storms will be fast-moving so most spots should see well under an inch of rain.
Large hail also isn't expected, though small pea-sized hail could fall if the storm intensifies enough.Conditions will dry out later in the evening as the line progresses from west to east, leaving cooler temperatures and light scattered showers in their wake.
