STORM WATCH: Severe thunderstorm warning, tornado watch for parts of Long Island

We continue our storm watch coverage with a couple of warnings now for northern Nassau County and northwest Suffolk County. This storm here, with all this frequent dangerous cloud to ground lightning, is capable of 60 mph wind gusts, some small hail, and this is all moving into northern Nassau County and eventually northwestern Suffolk County. On top of that, the downpours are so heavy that this can cause some flash flooding as this moves through as well. So there's a flash flood warning for the same areas until 730. The actual storm will pass by around 5 o'clock, but then there could just be lingering standing water to watch out for. So if you're in these areas over towards Oyster Bay, Huntington, Bethpage, Dix Hills, getting some moderate to torrential downpours as well as the strong gusty wind as this moves through over the next half hour to 45 minutes or so from West to East. This is the first warning so far for Long Island this evening. Might not be the last. There's more active weather back off to the West that we have to pay close attention to, but there is just so much lightning. Even with this storm that you need to stay indoors as this starts to move through, so we'll keep an eye on that for you. And there you can see the severe thunderstorm warning the flood warning, but also underneath that that tornado watch. No tourney active tornado warnings with this at the moment, but a tornado watch for Nassau County. That still goes until 9 o'clock this evening as well as we go throughout the evening. Scattered showers and thunderstorms can impact anywhere across Long Island. Strongest likely in Nassau County should weaken a little bit as those move off towards the East, but stay with us right here. We'll have you updated with the storm watch conditions all evening long.
