A cold front is expected to reach the Northeast by Wednesday, bringing clusters of thunderstorms along the Interstate 95 corridor from Boston to Richmond, Virginia. The National Weather Service issued a Severe Thunderstorm Watch for much of the region, including New Jersey, New York City, Long Island, and parts of New York and southern Connecticut. The watch runs from 2 p.m. to 9 p.m. Tuesday. Concerns include hail up to quarter size, wind gusts up to 70 mph, frequent lightning, and heavy rain. Heavy rain may cause wet roads, reduced visibility, and slower travel during commute times. Heat ahead of the front is helping fuel storm development, while cooler air behind the front will drop temperatures into the 60s across the corridor and keep them cooler into Memorial Day weekend.
