Severe Thunderstorm Watch Issued For Nassau County

The National Weather Service has issued a severe thunderstorm watch for Nassau County. It's in effect until 10 p.m. Thursday.

Here's what you need to know:

• A complex of thunderstorms will approach the area this evening from the west and move east, possibly weakening as it moves toward the immediate coast.
• Some strong to severe thunderstorms are likely, with gusty winds over 50 mph possible along with possible hail.
• Downpours producing rainfall rates in excess of one inch per hour may occur in any heavier thunderstorms that could result in poor drainage flooding, especially in more urbanized areas.
