This move comes as potentially dangerous thunderstorms are expected to pass through our area this afternoon. The storms could bring heavy winds, hail and even an isolated tornado.

The system is expected to form in northwestern New Jersey into the Hudson Valley and then become more widespread, lasting into the evening.

The National Oceanic and Atmospheric Administration has issued a high rip current risk warning for beaches in Brooklyn, Queens and Long Island as well as for beaches south along the Jersey Shore.
