Strong to severe storms are possible tonight, with the greatest concern focused mainly west of Manhattan. KSNT 27 News reports an enhanced risk is in place for that area, where a severe thunderstorm watch remains active until 3AM.
Forecast guidance in the report suggests storms may organize into bowing or lining out later tonight. That pattern points to a damaging wind-gust event being the more likely impact for many areas as storms move through.
Beyond the overnight weather, the report also flags flooding concerns that extend into Sunday. Residents in the Manhattan area and surrounding regions are advised to stay alert for changing storm conditions through the night and be prepared for ongoing impacts into the weekend.
