Clouds Drape Over NYC Nice Weekend Ahead

Clouds Drape Over NYC Nice Weekend Ahead

04/18/24 11:38am ET

Good late-morning everyone. Foggy, drizzly, and showery conditions hang over much of the Northeast like a wet blanket as our elongated and daisy-chain system will fire up more severe weather across parts of the Midwest and Central states.

Aside from the drizzly weather in the Northeast, our focus remains on severe weather prospects for Missouri, Illinois, and Indiana later this afternoon, evening, and overnight hours. We’ll also watch for a broken line of severe storms to trail down across parts of Arkansas, Oklahoma, and northeast Texas. Those will be brief in nature, with the main core of energy focused in bigger clusters across our Central States.

As with all of the storms we’ve seen lately, look for the potential for large hail, isolated tornadoes, damaging winds, frequent lighting, and flash flooding where storms will move slowly and over the same areas. The timeline of events look to start around mid to late afternoon, then organize better and last through tomorrow morning. We’ll have to watch the radar to see if these storms hold onto some of their energy as they enter parts of Tennessee and Kentucky.

Please listen to you local agencies for up to date warnings and advisories. Here is your local NYC Metro forecast –
