NEW YORK — If you thought the Tri-State area was going to start the work week off with nice weather, think again.
After an initial round of moderate to heavy showers this morning, there will be a brief lull in activity before a few scattered thunderstorms begin to develop after noon Monday.
The rain will continue into the early afternoon before much stronger thunderstorms develop after 4 pm bringing the threat of severe weather to our area.
There will be the possibility of localized flash flooding in scattered areas with widespread rainfall amounts of 1 to 2 inches and higher localized amounts of up to around 3 inches possible along with possible torrential downpours of 1 to 2 inches per hour.
Damaging wind gusts will also be a primary concern, especially for the westernmost sections of the forecast region where tornadoes are possible.
A tornado watch was even issued for parts of New Jersey, New York, Pennsylvania, Delaware and Maryland until 11 p.m., according to the National Weather Service.
