US · Published Sep 1, 2026
The tri-state area, including New York City, Northern New Jersey, and parts of New York State, is bracing for multiple waves of strong-to-severe thunderstorms from Tuesday through Thursday this week.
According to NBC New York, a meandering front will act as the focal point for storm development, with threats ranging from damaging winds to isolated flash flooding, hail, and even potential tornadoes.

Impact & Risks

The severe weather poses risks to areas west of the Hudson River, with isolated flash flooding being the most significant concern, particularly on Wednesday. While most regions will experience manageable rainfall, localized areas could see over an inch of rain, leading to potential flooding in low-lying or poorly drained zones. Additional hazards include hail and damaging winds, which could disrupt travel and outdoor activities. Residents in the affected areas should remain vigilant as the storms progress.
