A severe thunderstorm watch is in effect until 7 p.m. ET on Saturday across parts of the Northeast, according to NOAA's Storm Prediction Center.
The watch includes New York City and parts of southeast New York, Connecticut, parts of northern New Jersey and Rhode Island.
An intensifying line of thunderstorms over northern New Jersey is expected to track eastward across the watch area Saturday afternoon, posing a risk of damaging wind gusts of up to 75 mph.

Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth announced Monday that the Pentagon is taking administrative action to punish Sen. Mark Kelly, a retired Navy captain, by cutting his retirement pay for participating in a video where he and other Democratic lawmakers reminded US service members of their duty to refuse illegal orders.
