Intense rainfall and frequent lightning have already unleashed upon the borough, prompting flash flood concerns earlier. Early parts of the evening could involve a brief break in the precipitation, but intense storms could move through later on tonight. Do not let your guard down and continue to be weather aware throughout Saturday.
An additional line of storms will move through later on this evening. These have the potential to juice up and become severe, leading to more downpours and flooding, additional frequent lightning, as well as the potential for strong gusts that could be damaging, and a stray tornado is not out of the question.
Check on neighbors who are in basement and garden level apartments-- those are the ones who would flood first. Make sure you have alerts set up on your phone for any warnings to come through immediately. Every second matters with severe weather.
The next weather threat comes late Tuesday and into Wednesday. More showers and thunderstorms are possible then.
Sunday will feature some hazy sunshine, drier conditions and calmer weatherwise. It will also be a much better day for outdoor activities.
