Severe Storms Tri State Area March 2025

NEW YORK — A line of strong to severe storms swept through the tri-state area on Monday night, bringing damaging wind gusts, large hail, and isolated flooding.

The storm system began developing in the late afternoon, with severe weather reports coming from areas west and northwest of New York City. The heaviest precipitation was concentrated after the evening rush hour, allowing commuters to avoid major disruptions.

Wind gusts reached around 60 miles per hour, and residents reported quarter-sized hail in some locations. The National Weather Service confirmed that isolated tornadoes were also a potential threat as the line of storms moved through.

“We’re monitoring the situation closely,” said meteorologist John Smith from the National Weather Service. “Although the storms were intense, timing worked in favor of most commuters.”

As the storm advanced eastward, localized flooding was reported in low-lying areas. Emergency services prepared for potential impacts, urging residents to stay off the roads during severe weather.

While the intensity of the storms varied, the system triggered active weather alerts across several counties. Forecasters advised residents to stay updated on changing conditions, noting that the storms were expected to move out of the area by Tuesday morning.
