NWS: Severe Weather Coming to Tri-State

The National Weather Service has issued a flash flood watch for the tri-state area.

A fierce storm and its surrounding low-pressure system is will head to the northeast Thursday, through the Ohio Valley into Canada. But rather than putting the northeast in the clear, that system will "drag its trailing cold front across the tri-state area Thursday night," the service reported.

The NWS warned heavy rains, isolated thunderstorms, and flash flooding will all be possible through Friday morning, with estimates of rainfall amounting to 1.5 to 2.5 inches.

The weather warning was issued for the following counties:

Northern Fairfield
Passaic
Bergen
Essex
Hudson
Union
Orange
Putnam
Rockland
Westchester
Manhattan
Bronx
Richmond
Kings
Queens
