All five boroughs in New York City are under a severe thunderstorm warning this afternoon.
The storm is capable of producing quarter-size hail and damaging winds of 60 mph and greater.
It's another day of warm and muggy conditions, with showers of varying intensity throughout the tri-state.
The heaviest rains so far have been across northwest New Jersey and up into Orange and Sullivan county in New York. Flood watches stay in effect in these areas into the late afternoon, as any additional downpours on the already-saturated ground could lead to some flooding.
For the rest of the area, anticipate showers and some isolated thundershowers to break out, especially this afternoon and early evening. Some could briefly be heavy, but flooding is not likely to be an issue around the city.
The skies clear out later tonight and Friday.
Much chillier air will push in over the weekend. Clouds will build Saturday and a couple of showers are possible later in the day and at night.
High temperatures will go from the 70s today and Friday into the low 60s Saturday and maybe only in the 50s for Sunday.
