Potential New Storm System Could Bring Downpours, 50-60 MPH Wind Gusts

The warmest and most humid air of the year so far will be the catalyst for the potential for a new round of thunderstorms with heavy downpours and wind gusts up to 60 miles per hour.

Severe thunderstorms with downpours and 50 to 60 mph wind gusts are expected Thursday, June 5, from northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania through most of New York, all of Connecticut and Massachusetts, and into northern New England.

The timing for the system is the late afternoon and evening on Thursday, June 5, a day in which the temperature will climb into the upper 80s to even 90 degrees in some spots.

The range for possible storms is from northern New Jersey and Pennsylvania through most of New York, all of Connecticut and Massachusetts, and into northern New England, AccuWeather meteorologists say. (See the image above.)

Before the storm's arrival, a warming trend will kick in Tuesday, June 3, and continue throughout the week, according to the National Weather Service.

That will keep the possibility of more showers and storms possible beyond Thursday's system — on both Friday, June 6, and Saturday, June 7, with the most likely timing in the evening on both days.
