Thunderstorms threaten NYC area; winter storm looms mid-week. StormTeam4NY has the latest weather details
Gusty thunderstorms are possible for parts of the tri-state area later Tuesday, potentially impacting the evening commute with downpours, hail and icy precipitation -- and that's just the appetizer.
Mother Nature is serving up a potpourri of sorts, one featuring a mix of chilly rain, sleet and snow over the next few days. Tuesday's morning rains tapered off shortly after sunrise, but another round of rain is expected in the afternoon and early rush. That line of storms could bring thunder, hail, and graupel , though destructive winds are considered the greater threat at this point.The system clears out, paving the way for dry, clear and cold weather through Wednesday morning.
Driving conditions in those zones -- which cover spots like Ulster, Dutchess, Sullivan and Pike counties -- will be less than ideal through Thursday's early morning commute. Temperatures rise above freezing from late morning on, which will help melt any lingering ice.
