This weekend, New York City residents may need to adjust outdoor plans due to thunderstorms expected, especially on Friday evening. Meteorologist Tom Kines from AccuWeather predicts powerful storms with significant wind gusts and rain. The threat of the storms may persist into Saturday depending on weather front movement. There is a notable risk of severe weather, with rain accumulations hitting up to an inch and gusts reaching 55 mph. The National Weather Service aligns with this forecast, predicting a 40% chance of showers and a 60% chance of storms Friday evening.
If there's going to be a day with thunderstorms it's probably going to be Friday, Friday evening. Depending on how quick this front moves through, storms could linger into Saturday.
It's always tough with thunderstorms, because some neighborhoods get the heavy rains and some don't. But certainly the potential is there for maybe three-quarters of an inch to an inch of rain.
These thunderstorms could potentially whip up winds to a top gust between 50 and 55 mph. The severe weather doesn't hit everybody; it can hit one neighborhood and not the other.
The weather service forecasts a 40% chance of showers Friday and a 60% chance Friday evening. A thunderstorm is possible between 8 p.m. and 2 a.m.
