A SEVERE THUNDERSTORM WARNING IS IN EFFECT for The Bronx and Brooklyn until 6:30pm. Damaging wind gusts, heavy rain, and frequent lightning are possible. Move indoors and stay away from windows.

Tonight's weather is the main concern as showers and thunderstorms move through the area. While not everyone will see severe weather, some storms could produce heavy downpours, frequent lightning and brief gusty winds.

There is also an elevated risk for flash flooding tonight as well, so make sure you are staying weather aware throughout the evening and first half of the overnight hours.

Once tonight's storms move out, the weekend looks much quieter overall.
