A severe weather system in the Northeast prompted a series of warnings and watches in the New York-New Jersey area Tuesday afternoon and led to flight delays at major airports.
The National Weather Service issued a severe thunderstorm warning for parts of the region, including Staten Island, New York and Jersey City and Newark, New Jersey, until 3:30 p.m. EDT Tuesday.
Damaging winds of up to 60 mph were forecast with the storm and residents in the area were told to seek shelter.
The watch bulletin says that the storm conditions will move northeast from the nation’s capital throughout the day.
The weather has caused delays ranging from 45 minutes to over an hour at major airports in the New York City-area airports and as far south as Philadelphia.
