The severe thunderstorms that rolled across the Northeast yesterday came into the vicinity of NYC in the afternoon hours, bringing down temperatures by as much as 25 degrees, and creating some localized river and stream flooding.

Yesterday’s severe storms that impacted southern parts of Connecticut New York brought with it hail the size of quarters and frequent cloud to ground lightning, not to mention the torrential rains again.

For the NYC Metro Area in general, the probability of there being severe thunderstorms will greatly increase over the next few months.  So yesterday may have been the beginning of the next round of thunderstorms that will span across the coming months.

For more information on coming severe thunderstorms, consult the National Weather Service (NWS).
