NYC Weather: Tornado, Large Hail Could Arrive With Severe Thunderstorm

NEW YORK CITY — Severe thunderstorms. Damaging winds. Large hail. An isolated tornado.

That brew of woe could hit the city after 1 p.m. Monday when New York goes under a hazardous weather outlook, forecasters warned.

Thunderstorms, some of which could be severe, will run ahead of an approaching cold front, the National Weather Service said.

"Large hail and an isolated tornado may also be possible," the outlook states.

New York City's greatest chance of seeing severe weather starts at 2 p.m. and runs until 9 p.m., although rain and storms could linger later, according to the National Weather Service.

Wind gusts more than 58 mph could develop, according to a weather briefing. Up to a half-inch of rain could fall, the forecast states.

And 1-inch hail is another danger that roll in with the storms, the weather briefing states.

"Numerous thunderstorms could become severe, and potentially significant, with damaging winds and large hail," the briefing states. "An isolated tornado cannot be ruled out."
