New Jersey and New York City are under a tornado watch as remnants of Tropical Storm Debby bring severe weather to the region. The National Weather Service issued the watch early Friday, warning of possible tornadoes, heavy rainfall, and strong winds.
Residents across both states have been urged to stay alert and monitor local weather reports. Meteorologists predict the storm will bring several inches of rain, potentially causing flash floods in low-lying areas. Wind gusts could reach up to 60 mph in some locations.
The storm’s impact has already been felt, with numerous reports of downed trees and power outages. Emergency services are on high alert, with crews prepared to respond to any incidents.
As the weather system moves through the area, officials recommend that residents secure outdoor objects and avoid unnecessary travel. The NJ tornado watch is expected to remain in effect until late Friday evening.
