Scattered showers will continue through lunchtime but the main event doesn't arrive until the evening commute or early evening. A line of storms will push in around 6 p.m. ahead of a cold front, bringing with it the likelihood of severe level wind gusts of 50-60 mph.
A wind advisory began at 2 p.m., including NYC. Severe thunderstorm warnings could start to be issued after that as a result of the damaging winds. Heavy rain and flooding is also a concern: Parts of NYC and into the Hudson Valley could get up to 2 inches of rain, while areas farther west will get up to an inch of rain. Some parts of Connecticut and a isolated spots of Long Island could get 2-3 inches of rain. The storms will move out by midnight or so. Colder air follows the front and we may even see some snowflakes early Tuesday morning — nothing that will stick, though. A line of powerful storms bringing heavy rain, strong winds and even the threat of tornados looms Monday afternoon and evening for the tri-state. New Jersey is the most at-risk for severe weather, with a tornado watch in place for much of the state until 7 p.m. Isolated severe thunderstorms are possible for the New York City area.
