The National Weather Service has issued severe thunderstorm warnings for New York City and parts of the Hudson Valley, New Jersey and Connecticut, with expected wind gusts of up to 70 mph and potential hail.
Potentially severe thunderstorms are expected to lash the New York City metro area later Thursday, bringing the threat of damaging straight-line wind and hail as we kick off one of the busiest travel weekends of the year.
After some early morning showers and storms, especially for the Jersey Shore and Long Island, clouds will give way to some sunshine for midday. Temperatures will climb into the upper 80s and low 90s, with heat indices of 95+ degrees by this afternoon. We're back to that real tropical feel today.
