Severe Storms Bring Tornadoes, Flooding Risks Across Tri-State Area

A severe weather system is expected to impact the Northeastern U.S. on Saturday, September 6, 2025, bringing thunderstorms, heavy rainfall, damaging winds, and the risk of isolated tornadoes across parts of New Jersey, New York, Connecticut, and Massachusetts. The National Weather Service forecasts temperatures in the 80s to near 90 degrees, with storms likely developing in the afternoon and early evening, particularly along the I-95 corridor and interior southern New England. Areas such as northern New Jersey, southeastern Pennsylvania, New York City boroughs, southern Connecticut, and central and western Massachusetts face the greatest threat of severe thunderstorms, including damaging winds, hail, flash flooding, and isolated tornadoes. New York City officials have issued hazardous weather outlooks emphasizing the risks of urban flooding, damaging winds, and a high rip current risk along coastal areas. Residents across the Tri-State area are urged to stay weather-aware and have safety plans ready, especially between 1 p.m. and 8 p.m., when the storm activity is expected to peak, with warnings that tornadoes, while rare, remain possible even in urban centers like New York. The National Weather Service anticipates the storms will diminish after sunset, with clearing skies forecasted by Sunday evening.
