The New York City area is anticipating strong to severe storms on Saturday, with a First Alert Weather Day in effect from late afternoon through the evening.

The storm system is predicted to begin developing west and northwest of the city between 5 p.m. and 6 p.m. on Saturday. By 7 p.m. to 8 p.m., the storms are expected to reach the five boroughs of New York City. The weather event will then move through the Jersey Shore between 9 p.m. and 10 p.m. before exiting Long Island closer to 11 p.m.
The primary concerns associated with this storm system are damaging straight-line winds, significant hail, and the potential for ponding water on roadways due to the brief downpours. The CBS News New York weather team will provide live updates throughout the evening.
